Andre Onana, the newly acquired goalkeeper for Manchester United, expressed confidence in his teammates' ability to adapt to the tactical changes brought by new manager Ruben Amorim. With Amorim set to officially take over on November 11, Onana emphasized the players’ readiness to embrace a different style of play.
Onana acknowledged the challenge of switching systems but noted that his teammates are pragmatic and versatile. He believes they can adjust effectively to Amorim’s preferred 3-4-3 formation, contrasting with the previous 4-2-3-1 setup used by interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Manchester United appointed Amorim after a successful stint at Sporting Lisbon, where he recently led his team to a notable 4-1 victory against Manchester City in the Champions League. This victory highlights his tactical acumen and suggests a promising future for United under his leadership.
Onana remarked on the recent match:
“It was a great victory for them. It’s a different system, but I think everyone here is capable of playing in each system, so I don’t think this will be an issue for us.”
As United prepares for their upcoming Europa League match against Greek champions PAOK, they aim to secure their first win of the season in the tournament.
In addition to adapting tactics, Manchester United is managing player injuries. Leny Yoro, who joined from Lille for £52 million, returned to full training following a foot fracture sustained earlier this season. Although Yoro has not yet made his competitive debut, Van Nistelrooy expressed optimism about his recovery process and reintegration into the squad.
Van Nistelrooy noted that Yoro has been well-managed during his rehabilitation and is now ready to gradually ease back into competitive play.
Other key players, including midfielders Christian Eriksen, Mason Mount, and Antony, also returned to training after recent absences, enhancing the team’s depth as they navigate through this transitional phase under new management.
As Manchester United embarks on this new chapter with Amorim at the helm, fans and analysts alike will be keenly observing how quickly the players adapt to new strategies. The upcoming matches will not only test their flexibility but also shape the trajectory of the club’s ambitions for the season ahead. With diverse talent and a fresh approach, United aims to turn their fortunes around in both domestic and European competitions.
