In the pre-season friendly match held in Stockholm, Amorin changed all the lineups in the first half, and Manchester United shook hands with Leeds United 0-0 to make peace.
fans were able to see the debut of new players Cunha and Leon. Although Obi created several opportunities, Casemiro's cross refracted the crossbar, and Menu's chance to hit the goal frame before the end of the game also hit the goal frame, this new look of Manchester United has never broken the deadlock. Is
Cunya amazing?
Amorin only had one expectation for the £62.5 million new player. He told Manchester United TV before the game: "The key is whether he can understand the position responsibilities."
When asked to chase the Leeds United player, Cunia threw a confused look at the coach, suggesting that he might still need time to adapt. However, for the first time players, this is completely reasonable.
When Manchester United took control of the ball, Cunha became one of the few highlights in the team's dull first half. He successfully created a foul, shuttled through the gaps in the defense line, and worked tacitly with his new teammate Leon on the left. If Obi hadn't had the first shot missed, Cunha would have had the chance to seize Manchester United's best opportunity in the first half.
When holding the ball, Cunya showed his sharpness and gradually improved without the ball. Over time, he will surely understand Amorin's tactical requirements. Manchester United is about to join Barcelona on the 10th, and the story of the new No. 10th is slowly unfolding.
Leon's difficult debut
This game is also the stage for fans to observe the debut of 18-year-old Leon from a close distance. He successfully survived the first 45 minutes of being a Manchester United player.
Let Leon was in danger shortly after the opening. Bogler and Nyonto cooperated to pull Leon into position and immediately broke through Manchester United's defense line. Then his right sneaker fell off unexpectedly, and the scene of his forced to continue fighting with his scattered shoelaces made him look even more embarrassing.
In the first 30 minutes of the first half, Leeds United clearly focused on Leon's left side guarding, but he gradually gained a foothold with his tenacious fighting and physical confrontation. As the game progressed, Nyonto's threat dropped sharply, and Leon contributed several impressive performances: a subtle diagonal plug helped Obi test the goalkeeper, which was particularly amazing.
Amorin's team is evaluating Leon's status through the preseason to determine whether he has the ability to serve as a substitute for Dogu. This debut undoubtedly added weight to his competition.
Amorin's tactical blueprint is just emerging?
The second half of the game was also calm, but this unrequited contest may hide the tactical code of Amorin's new season, revealing the similarities and differences between him and last season.
Collier started with the "No. 10 position on the right" with important direction, which means that B Fee once again formed a midfield partner with Casemiro, which is exactly the same as the configuration of last season's sprint stage and the Europa League finals.
With Mbemo occupying the 10th position on the right and Cunia firmly sits on the left, B Fee's core position in the new season seems to have locked in the midfield hub. During the game, he pulled back many times in depth to assist in the backcourt to shoot.
The joining of Cunya and Mbemo may force Amade to serve more as the right-wing back, that is, the starting position in this game, but after a quiet first half, he and Collier switched positions and returned to the forward trio, gradually regaining their presence. Menu plays as one of the two midfielders instead of breaking forward.
After the forward purchase this summer, the positioning of B Fee, Amad and Menu in the new system is unresolved. Although a friendly match cannot be concluded, it will be even more intriguing if the same role deployment is continued in the US tour.
