Ruben Amorim has been at Manchester United for less than a week and the transfer rumour mill is already tipping the Portuguese to make his mark on the squad in January. United are currently 13th in the Premier League after 11 matches.

Ruben Amorim is preparing to coach his first game as Manchester United coach. The former Sporting CP boss has underlined his plans for his new team.

Amorim is expected to move United to a back three for his opening game at Ipswich with two hard-working midfielders—former player Manuel Ugarte included—offering an aggressive buffer ahead of the back line. The switch should offer more defensive solidity from the outset.
