Defensive Solidity

Under Erik ten Hag, United often struggled defensively, leaving gaps and conceding too many chances.

Against Arsenal, however, Amorim’s side showcased a more organized and aggressive defensive approach.

They were tough to break down, particularly in the first half, displaying resilience and discipline.

While the lack of attacking spark remains a concern, Amorim can take pride in the defensive effort as a foundation to build upon.

Set Pieces

Ruben Amorim has stressed the importance of physicality in his squad, focusing not just on height but also on running power and duels.

However, United’s lack of size was evident against Arsenal, who exploited this weakness with two goals from corners.

While Arsenal are arguably the best in the world at converting set pieces, United must find ways to counter such threats, whether through tactical adjustments or personnel changes.

Addressing this issue will be crucial as they aim to compete at the highest level.
