Losers
Manchester City
In a twist, Manchester City emerge as a notable loser in this deal.
City had high hopes of securing Ruben Amorim once Pep Guardiola’s contract expired, particularly after hiring Sporting Lisbon director of football Hugo Viana with this goal in mind.
However, United’s swift move for Amorim has denied City the chance to add the promising coach to their ranks, giving United a rare victory in the ongoing rivalry.
Antony
Antony’s future at United looks increasingly uncertain under Amorim’s preferred tactical setup, which does not utilise traditional touchline wingers.
Brought in primarily as a wide player, Antony may find his role redefined in a system that emphasizes central creativity and fluidity.
While there is a possibility he could be developed as a wing-back, recent reports suggest he may be considering a move away from United, further clouding his prospects within the squad.
This shift underscores the challenges he faces in adapting to the new system and securing his place in the team.
Christian Eriksen
After experiencing a resurgence in form under ten Hag, Christian Eriksen may see his playing time significantly reduced under Ruben Amorim.
The new coach’s tactical approach does not align with Eriksen’s skill set, particularly as he does not fit the profiles typically required in Amorim’s midfield.
While he could potentially play in a more advanced role, it is unlikely he will be utilised consistently as a number 10.
Although Eriksen remains a useful player to have around the squad, his minutes are likely to dwindle as the new system takes shape and Amorim implements his vision for the team.
