Midfield
When fully fit, Ruben Amorim likely envisions Manuel Ugarte and Kobbie Mainoo as his first-choice midfield duo.
While the pair may be slightly lightweight physically, they offer a perfect balance of energy, control, and creativity.
This makes them ideal for Amorim’s dynamic system.
However, with Mainoo recently returning from injury, it would be sensible for Amorim to manage his minutes carefully.
As a result, Casemiro is expected to partner Ugarte in Amorim’s debut match.
This combination, which was also utilised during Ruud van Nistelrooy’s interim spell, offers more defensive steel and combative presence.
These qualities that may prove crucial as the team adapts to Amorim’s new ideas.
This setup should give Amorim’s side the balance needed to implement his tactics while ensuring key players are not overexerted too soon.
