Manchester United is aiming at winning the trophy so that they can automatically get a ticket to UCL, and to achieve this goal, United have been performing pretty good in this competition, despite the challenges that they are having in EPL. Tottenham is also in the same shoes with United but United current performance looks more promising to win the league than Tottenham, because Amorin is still building the team, and we might see a sudden change in their performance.
With current performance? honestly I doubt it. I don't mean to underestimate Manchester United, but just look at Amorim who still likes to experiment with the lineup that he applies in almost every match. let's take an example when Maionoo was played as a center forward, in the Leicester match Amorim rotated Mainoo back as a winger. one more thing, P Dorgu who is a DL, was rotated to a wing midfielder. I don't really understand what Amorim wants, but what he did is out of the ordinary for other coaches. I understand if Amorim wants an ideal composition of players in his position, that's why he is still experimenting. it's just that, I'm confused why he is still stubborn with his pattern and system. let's say Manchester United is one of the teams that is difficult to beat in the Europa League, but their progress to the next stage, let alone winning the trophy, seems too forced. it doesn't mean they don't have a chance, it's just that what I see Amorim is trying to get the ideal position of the players with his system. I think his current focus is only on choosing suitable players and releasing the rest in the upcoming summer window. that's why, Amorim still applies its pattern so far. but we'll see, maybe Amorim can do it.
