Ten Hag has left Amorin with a lot of work to do and Changes can’t be made overnight, but Manchester United need them as soon as possible to get the team back to winning ways. and you are right that there needs to be a balance between the front and the back, so that the attack remains sharp and the defense remains strong. and one more thing, once the desired rhythm of play is created, the team must be able to maintain that rhythm, so that the performance on the field remains consistent in every game.
So far Manchester United are still quite good in the UEFA Europa League. Although they are in 12th place in the standings, they are still unbeaten in the UEL. They have won 2 of their last 2 matches even though they were actually only against mediocre teams. I think it is still difficult to determine whether Amorim has succeeded in making United better at this time. They were able to beat PAOK with a score of 2-0 but they struggled to beat the mediocre FK Bodø/Glimt. But Amorim has shown positive changes. At this time we cannot expect Amorim to make United like Sporting because Amorim got the team left by Ten Hag and not the team with the players he wanted. I think United will make player purchases in the winter transfer market.
Manchester United currently has 9 points from 5 matches and they only have 1 point gap with the team from top 8 so i think Manchester United still have good opportunity to qualified to the next round without having to go through play off stages or finish at top 8 and i can see Manchester United under Amorim has good progress although i know Amorim hasn't found the best formula for the lineup of Manchester United but basically they are in the positive condition and League phase still have 3 matches remaining and according to the schedules Manchester United only facing mediocre teams in this competition and their strongest team which they faced is only Rangers and if Manchester United not lost for next 3 matches i am confident they can qualified
