Andre Onana confident about Manchester United's adaptation to Amorim's tactics
What's the story
Manchester United's goalkeeper Andre Onana has shown confidence in the team's ability to adapt to incoming manager Ruben Amorim's strategies. The club recently appointed Amorim, who will take over on November 11. The change in leadership comes as interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has been using a 4-2-3-1 formation, a strategy favored by Erik ten Hag.
Tactical shift
Amorim's successful track record with 3-4-3 formation
Amorim, the former Sporting boss, is known for his love for a 3-4-3 formation. This was evident in his recent 4-1 triumph over Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday. Onana watched the game and praised it as a "great victory." He believes this tactical shift won't be any problem for his team, stating "It's a different system but my teammates are all pragmatic."
Team confidence
Onana's faith in Manchester United's adaptability
Further reiterating his faith in the team's adaptability, Onana said, "I think everyone here is capable of playing in each system so I don't think this will be an issue for us." He was confident that his fellow players would rise to the occasion under Amorim's leadership. "We have big players, they will step up," he added.
