Manchester United fans are counting down the days until new manager Rúben Amorim steps out for his first match in charge. The Portuguese coach will make his debut on November 24th, when the Red Devils take on Ipswich Town away from home.
Amorim has already teased that supporters ‘will see an idea’ of what his side will be working towards for the rest of the season. Speaking to the club’s website ahead of their trip to East Anglia, the 39-year-old said: “I think you will see an idea. You could like it or not, I don't know, but you will see an idea. You will see a positioning. You will see something that we want to reach that kind of level. You will feel that.”
While fans will need to wait a little longer to see who Amorim opts to deploy in his first United starting XI, we’ve put together the Red Devils’ strongest lineup this season, based on minutes played.
