Ferdinand believes Amorim's ideas can help United return to stability


Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand spoke about Premier League giants Manchester United in a podcast and believes that coach Amorim's philosophy can help the Red Devils return to a stable state.


Amorim from Portugal was appointed as Manchester United head coach in November last year, but Manchester United's recent performance in the Premier League has not achieved ideal results, including being eliminated by Tottenham Hotspur in the quarterfinals of the English League Cup.


In the 19th round of the Premier League, Manchester United lost 0-2 to Newcastle at Old Trafford. After three consecutive defeats, Manchester United is currently ranked 14th in the Premier League standings with 22 points. However, in the UEFA Europa League, Manchester United has won three consecutive games and is currently ranked 7th in the standings, which is a good position.


Speaking about Manchester United manager Amorim, Manchester United legend Ferdinand said on a podcast: "When you watch him, you feel that he is full of confidence in the long-term plan and will not change his philosophy because of short-term setbacks, and I completely agree with this."


"If changing the strategy and going back to the way the players played before doesn't win games, then why go back to what the players are used to? We can't expect Amorim to go back to the way Manchester United played before and try to stabilize the team because this team has been very unstable recently."


In addition, Ferdinand also said, "One of the keys to this system is the physical fitness of the players, and the weakness of Eriksen and Casemiro has brought some impact. But I still think that if they can pass the training and let Amorim fully implement his ideas, they will not look so out of place."


"So I don't think that by putting two more runners in, all the problems will go away, I think we'll still have the same problems."


On the other hand, Manchester United will go to Anfield to challenge Liverpool in the new round of the Premier League. Liverpool currently ranks first in the standings with 45 points and will definitely consolidate its lead by 3 points, so this focus game will be another difficult challenge for Amorim's team.
