From 2 years and 2 championships to 4 big wins! Manchester United s misconception: He insisted on using 3 defenders + letting go of the Europa League Golden Boots

8:46am, 22 May 2025【Football】

On May 22, Manchester United competed with Tottenham for the UEFA Cup championship. For both teams, this game determines the success or failure of the entire season, because both Manchester United and Tottenham have won no other games, and the Premier League ranking is close to the relegation zone. As a result, Tottenham striker Johnson scored the only goal in the game, Manchester United lost the final 0-1, and Tottenham Hotspur realized its dream championship. From 2 years and 2 championships to 4 big wins! Manchester United's misunderstanding of Amorin: he insisted on using 3 defenders + letting go of the Europa League Golden Boot.

In the 42nd minute of this game, Tottenham broke through Manchester United's goal through a cross. Saar's pass created a threat. Lukesha was not close to the target. Johnson grabbed the point in front of the goal. Onana failed to stop the goal from losing. Manchester United's ball possession rate is 73%-27% in the game, Tottenham Hotspur, with low offensive efficiency and never scored. Tottenham finally won the championship again after 17 years.

Tottenham captain Son Heung-min won the first championship trophy in his 10th season with the team. Tottenham has suffered a lot and ended the season with the UEFA Cup. Although they rank fourth from the bottom in the Premier League, they will participate in the Champions League next season. Manchester United failed to win the UEFA Cup, Premier League, FA Cup and British League Cup, ranking fifth from the bottom in the Premier League.

The previous Manchester United coach was Tenhager. Although Tenhager has been questioned a lot, he has actually brought two championships to Manchester United, the FA Cup and the British League Cup. Tenhager has coached Manchester United for two full seasons, Manchester United ranked third and eighth in the Premier League, and Tenhager’s winning rate is 56.2%. Although Tenghager's several signings were not ideal, his results can be said to be the second successful coach of Manchester United after Sir Ferguson, second only to Mourinho.

In contrast, Amorin coached Manchester United in 41 games, with 16 wins, 8 draws and 17 losses, with a winning rate of only 39%, losing more than winning. Amorin only uses the 3-back formation. Some Manchester United players are not suitable for this formation. The team's performance is not good. Amorin does not know how to adapt and will not try 4-backs. Manchester United, under Amorin's man, has weak offense and lacks integrity in defense. Under his coaching, Manchester United has a mess.

Tenhager gave up Sancho, and Amorin paid the price for abandoning Rashford. Rashford is just a matter of attitude, and his ability is top in Manchester United. He has won 30 goals and 9 assists in a single season, won the 22-23 season of the UEFA Cup and British League Cup Golden Boots. He is the active scorer of Manchester United and is better than Manchester United's current strikers Hoylen, Zilkze and Garnacho. Amorin said that if you don’t, it would not be used, which directly led to Manchester United’s offense missing a goal point.

Rashford played 17 times on loan to Villa this season, with 10 starts, 4 goals and 5 assists, and his performance was remarkable. If Amorin beats Rashford and keeps him, maybe Manchester United is already the Europa League champion. Amorin led Manchester United in this way, will he be dismissed?
