JAKARTA - Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim said he was very happy about 2025 even though his team is entering the new year in 14th position in the Premier League this season.

"I understand that they have a lot of trouble because they spent two years playing in one way, then they played in another", Amorim said.

Amoriam tidak mendapat keuntungan dari pra musim untuk menerapkan perubahan besar tersebut pada model taktik Manchester United. Dia mengakui bahwa hal itu berdampak signifikan.

You see, when he arrived in the middle of the first round season, he didn't have time to practice his tactical menu because of the busy schedule. Ten Hag's system transition to Amorim will not be running for a while.

Like it or not, players must learn the Amorim system during matches and practice between matches.

"After being left behind by one goal, they lost everything because we had no basis."

"We don't have time to build a basis for difficult moments. So, right now is very difficult," said Amorim.

Meanwhile, Manchester United will face the toughest start in 2025, they will travel to take on leaders of the Liverpool standings on Sunday, January 5, 2025.
