Rio Ferdinand is afraid of MU being relegated, Gary Neville believes that the 3-4-3 formation must be "highly qualified" to be suitable

Ruben Amorim recently posted on social networks to apologize to fans for the loss to Tottenham. He said the situation was very difficult, all failures must be the coach's responsibility and he apologized for that. Meanwhile, club legend Gary Neville also doubted the Portuguese coach's tactics.

Ruben Amorim has lost 8 matches since taking over the club in November, Manchester United is currently ranked 15th on the rankings. However, it must also be understood that players like Eriksen, Ugarte, Amad Diallo and Lisandro Martínez are all injured. 

The transfer market was closed, and MU almost did not recruit many players. They mainly sold faces that did not suit Amorim's tactics. Manchester United was forced to rebuild strongly in the summer to compete in tournaments.

Ruben Amorim is facing difficulties at Manchester United

Gary Neville also commented that it would take three transfer windows to bring Manchester United back into the competitive race. After the match against Tottenham, Gary Neville also doubted whether Ruben Amorim's strategy was really suitable at MU. He also criticized the midfielders for ruining the team's strategy when the temporary midfielder pair Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes could not keep each other's positions.

Gary Neville with Sky Sports: "It's a special system, you have to put two midfielders with excellent ability to cover the midfield. This is not simple, Amorim can put anyone in that position, but are they really excellent and have good control in the 3-4-3 formation?"

Gary Neville believes that the 3-4-3 strategy is making it difficult for the players.

"In the backfield you have to find three central defenders who can push forward and intercept better than in common formations. This is really a formation where you have to find specialists in their positions, unlike other systems, it's simpler."

"With such a strategy, Amorim needed 3 transfer periods to find the most suitable factors. We clearly understand the goals and investments, but it will take some time to fully meet them."

Rio Ferdinand is worried that MU is being relegated

Following Gary Neville's conversation, Rio Ferdinand was worried when MU was ranked 15th. "They only had one victory in the 13 matches I followed." Ruben Amorim previously had to explain to fans about the risk of relegation when losing to Newcastle in December.

Amorim stated "it is a possibility. We have to make it clear to the fans". United have lost eight of their last 12 matches and are currently 12 points ahead of Ipswich Town, who are in 18th place. After analyzing the team's remaining matches, the former United defender admitted that the result against Leicester City was the only match he was confident about because he was concerned for the team's future.
