New head coach Ruben Amorim will be heavily scrutinised in the coming weeks, months and possibly years as he attempts to recapture success for Manchester United.
Ruben Amorim hasn't fallen into the 'club culture' trap during his first week as Manchester United head coach - unlike Erik ten Hag - who resigned from the idea of imposing his philosophy to appease impatient outsiders.
When asked about building a strong link between its famed academy and his first-team, Amorim said: "I think it's important because a lot of people now talk about the 3-4-3 and the 4-3-3 and all that stuff. But when I think, as a player or as a teammate of Manchester United, it's not a system of formation, it's like the character of the players, the way they see the club.
"Everybody thinks the same, running back, playing, enjoying and this is what drives me. I can say the popular thing, which is to win. Everybody wants to win and I want to win with my players, with the fans, but with an identity and one idea, that is the thing that I am focused on all the time." Amorim has refused to fall into the 'club culture' trap that swallowed Ten Hag. The former Sporting manager has been defiant. He's set in his ways, determined to lead United into a new era, defined by their performances in the pitch rather than those who have preceded them.
Then, later on in that same interview, Ten Hag contradicted himself, claiming that he also wants to play 'the Man United way' - which is an entirely different brand of football to his own. He said: "Useful, yes, definitely because we have to get a way of playing.
