Man United didn’t lose games because of the system- Ruben Amorim

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is adamant his system isn’t the problem preventing the team from winning games.

He made this indication in a pre-game presser ahead of Man United’s league clash against AFC Sunderland on Saturday, October 4 at 14:00 GMT at Old Trafford.

Man United have two wins, a draw and three losses in six games played in the league this season and many have blamed his insistence on his 3-4-3 system but Amorim says that Man United didn’t lose because of the system.

“There is nothing to do with the system. My point is that if I look at the games that we didn’t win, the most important thing when I watch the game is not that we lost the game because of the system. That is my opinion. Then people have different opinions and that is okay” he said.
