Ruben Amorim’s preferred Manchester United XI is emerging
Manchester United’s best starting side under Ruben Amorim is beginning to emerge.
The Reds completed a comeback win for the ages at the Etihad on Sunday, inspired by Amad Diallo. The youngster is fast becoming one of the first names on the teamsheet and looks a likely candidate to fill one of Amorim’s two number 10 slots long term.
The win over Manchester City has handed United crucial momentum heading into the hectic festive period with the chance to progress in both domestic cups and pick up crucial Premier League points coming up in the next few days and weeks.
The bombshell team news at the Etihad saw Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho omitted from the matchday squad, and both seemingly have significant work to do to win over Amorim and earn a regular spot in his side. The manager’s XI against City was filled with work-rate and endeavour, traits that were a hallmark of Amorim’s success at Sporting Lisbon.
