Ruben Amorim has introduced two new rules at Manchester United aimed at creating a positive and focused team environment that will allow his managerial philosophy to thrive. These rules come at a critical time as the team looks to establish a clearer identity under Amorim, who has already made his mark with a distinct tactical approach.
Amorim’s preferred 3-4-3 formation has been implemented since he took over. This system is built around high pressing, a strong collective work ethic, and selflessness, with players expected to work together to achieve the team’s objectives. While these changes are positive, the recent 2-0 loss to Arsenal served as a reminder that building success at a club like Manchester United will take time.
The two new rules that Amorim has introduced are designed to reinforce discipline, professionalism, and a team-first mentality. The first rule is that all injured players must attend matches dressed in tracksuits and arrive at least one hour before kick-off. This rule appears to be an attempt to instill a sense of unity and commitment among the squad, ensuring that even those not playing remain fully engaged and prepared for the team’s efforts.
The second rule, although not fully detailed in the provided update, is part of a broader effort to cultivate the right environment for success. Amorim’s focus seems to be on fostering a disciplined, professional atmosphere where players are expected to not only perform on the pitch but also exhibit the right mentality off it.
Despite the team’s recent defeat, Amorim’s appointment has given Manchester United fans hope, as they now have a manager with a clear, identifiable playing style. The squad’s long-term success may depend on how well these new rules are embraced, as well as how quickly Amorim can implement his philosophy across the board. However, there is also uncertainty over the futures of some players, with reports indicating that five squad members could have their fates decided in the coming weeks.
