Manchester United's recent dismal form has prompted head coach Ruben Amorim to prioritize fundamental training over analyzing Liverpool's tactics. The team is facing a challenging match against league-leading Liverpool, with their own performance at a low point since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.
The good news for Ruben Amorim this week is that Manchester United had three training sessions to prepare for Sunday's trip to Liverpool , but what they worked on at Carrington shows the scale of the task in front of the head coach.
