1. Lisandro Martinez
When Ruben Amorim was appointed as Manchester United manager, many believed Lisandro Martinez would be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the new tactical setup.
Under previous systems, Martinez’s aggression in a back four often left gaps in behind when he stepped up.
While his tenacity is a strength, it occasionally exposed United’s defensive line.
Amorim’s preference for a back three, however, suits Martinez’s style better.
The system encourages centre-backs to be proactive and step into midfield when needed, an approach that aligns with Martinez’s natural instincts.
Combined with his exceptional ball-playing abilities, Martinez is poised to thrive in Amorim’s structure, where his aggression is not just tolerated but expected.
Now back from injury, Martinez is set to feature against Bodo/Glimt.
Amorim will likely ease him into action, but his presence could be transformative for United.
Martinez’s blend of aggression and control could provide the defensive solidity and composure on the ball that United sorely missed against Ipswich.
