Rúben Amorim arrived as the culture reset. A bold 3-4-3. High press. Clear roles. Yet results are sliding and the pressure is real. In this episode Erasmus digs into the real issue at Manchester United: is it tactics, squad fit, or years of change fatigue catching up with the club?
He covers:
- What Amorim’s system asks from every line
- Why Sporting’s blueprint worked and what is missing at United
- Five managers in seven years and the cost of constant reinvention
- Players out of position, recruitment trade-offs, and timeline pressure
- Growing pains vs warning signs and what must change now
- Practical fixes that build belief without abandoning the plan
Tell us in the comments: is this a process problem or a personnel problem?
