2. More Control
Ruben Amorim highlighted United’s lack of control, particularly in the first half against Ipswich.
Ipswich’s high press disrupted their build-up and left them vulnerable.
United struggled to maintain possession, leading to transitional chances.
The introduction of Manuel Ugarte and Luke Shaw in the second half brought much-needed composure.
Ugarte’s calmness under pressure and Shaw’s progressive play helped United control the tempo and shift the game into Ipswich’s half.
Against Bodo/Glimt, Amorim will expect his side to dominate possession and dictate the game in the opposition’s half.
By limiting transitional opportunities for Bodo/Glimt, United can minimize defensive risks while asserting their control.
Effective build-up play and support from the midfield and wing-backs will be essential for United to manage the game better and impose Amorim’s style.
3. Create Chances
Manchester United’s long-standing struggle with chance creation and goal scoring remains a critical issue.
While talks of signing a new striker continue, Ruben Amorim has emphasized that the first priority is to create opportunities for the forwards.
After the Ipswich match, Amorim noted that even when control was established, United failed to generate clear chances.
To address this, he aims to develop structured patterns of play through positional setups, enabling the team to create high-quality opportunities consistently.
This process requires time and understanding among the players, but Amorim will hope to see progress against Bodo/Glimt.
As these patterns become more natural, United’s attacking fluidity and chance creation should improve, providing a foundation for their forwards to thrive.
