Ruben Amorim is likely to stick with his favourite formation at Old Trafford and that could be bad news for at least on of the young wingers at Man United.
The beaming smile Amad wore as he chatted to reporters in the Old Trafford mixed zone on Thursday night made it clear what he thought of his match-winning performance against PAOK.
Ten Hag put that down to training performances, but it's Amad who is delivering on the pitch. He was the best player on the pitch by a long way on Thursday and combined quality with a work ethic that would have had Ruben Amorim purring back in Portugal.ALSO READ: Ruud van Nistelrooy is keeping his promise to Ruben Amorim ahead of job swap
Given the success the 39-year-old has had with young players, the feeling is probably mutual. That young cohort at United, including the likes of Amad, Leny Yoro, Kobbie Mainoo, Alejandro Garnacho, and Rasmus Hojlund, might have most to gain from Amorim. If that is the system Amorim uses against Ipswich at Portman Road, then it will be fascinating to see who plays where, particularly who occupies the wing-back roles and who plays the attacking positions. Hojlund looks a certainty to start at No. 9, and captain Bruno Fernandes is more suited to one of the roles behind him than the deeper midfield positions.
