The coach has changed, but nothing has changed.

Manchester United suffered a crushing 0-3 defeat against Bournemouth in the 17th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 22nd (Korea time). Manchester United, which had 22 points, failed to make a mid-range leap. It remained in 13th place.

Manchester United cleaned up Erik ten Haach, who was in the worst slump, and brought in Hoobeng Amorim, who was using the era of success in Portugal. Manager Amorim was a leader who received a love call from a big club, but Manchester United succeeded in actively moving.




Amorim is trying to transplant a unique 3-4-3 system into Manchester United. It seems that the team is also reorganizing itself. But again, what is needed is time.

According to the Tribune on the 23rd, Manchester United has conceded as many as 17 goals in nine games since the transformation of Amorim. He is 2-3 in the last five games, and has allowed 10 goals in the three games he has lost. Three goals for Nottingham, four for Tottenham and three for Bournemouth. He is allowing a full run in the winning game as well.

Previously, defense was a concern. He allowed 20 goals in 18 games before Amorim's inauguration.




Of course, attacks don't work out very well. Marcus Rashford is one of the biggest concerns. Rashford has been out of action. Legend Garry Neville on Rashford's absence "This is no longer news of a big team. It was a surprise last weekend, but now it's kind of a norm and a pattern"Excluding him for the third straight game is that something is definitely wrong or most likely wrong.'

Manchester United is currently preparing for big changes, including linking with Son Heung-min.
