Former Manchester United manager on Ruben Amorim: Horrible | OneFootball

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praised the tactical formation used by Ruben Amorim, while analyzing the work of the former Sporting coach at Manchester United. The Norwegian helmsman was one of the many who passed through the red devils' bench, without much success, in recent seasons.

In an interview given to the podcast 'The Overlap', Ole Gunnar Solskjaer began by talking about the tactical formation of Ruben Amorim - who has recently been criticized again: "I have played in a 3x4x3 or whatever you want to call it. It is horrible to play against when it is well used, because if you want to press high... The first team to truly do it, as far as I remember, was Barcelona, against Liverpool, a few years ago in the Champions League."

"I thought 'Wow, how can Liverpool press against this?', because, in reality, you have to defend man to man, it's your only chance, because you have to track the runs and everything else", explained the Norwegian coach, who was also a striker for Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer continued his analysis, also explaining what is needed to get the most out of the tactical formation used by Ruben Amorim at Manchester United: "When it works... You probably need teams to press you to truly make it work".

"Now, Manchester United seems to win more often when they have less than 50 or 45% possession, instead of when they have 55 or 60%", concluded the former Manchester United coach, who is currently without a club after being dismissed from Besiktas in August.
