Ruben Amorim is under pressure to turn things around at Manchester United, but he has already reiterated he has no plans to change his philosophy.
United have endured their worst start to a Premier League season in 33 years with just four points from the opening four matches of the season, while they were also dumped out of the Carabao Cup by League Two side Grimsby Town.
Amorim is adamant that his stubborn 3-4-2-1 formation is not the issue and remains confident that results will improve once his side settles and a few decisions begin to go their way.
It therefore seems pointless to suggest a new approach with a different formation, but there might still be a way to make the current tactics work. Here is a look at the line up we would like to see in the coming weeks based on their current available players.
