Reason Liverpool didn't hire Ruben Amorim as Man United close in on new boss

Ruben Amorim is the front runner to take over at Manchester United but he was also on Liverpool's shortlist before they appointed Arne Slot

Liverpool walked away from negotiations with Manchester United managerial candidate Ruben Amorim due to differences in philosophies and playing style.

While Klopp played a dynamic 4-3-3 formation at Liverpool, Amorim initially sets his side up in a wide 3-4-3 formation. It's a flexible shape which can turn into a 4-2-4 during build-up, a 5-2-3 when defending, and a 3-2-5 while attacking. While Liverpool opted for Arne Slot, Amorim is now the top contender to take over at Old Trafford. If negotiations are ironed out between the two clubs, United may have to tolerate the Portuguese boss uprooting the current team's style.
