Amorim's adjustments to United's pressing were beneficial on Saturday
Going into the 4-4-2 more often (esp. in high pressing)
Getting the CBs more engaged in the press, which allows the CMs to jump
More aggressive man-orientations
An improvement over the problematic 5-2-3
Was this Ruben Amorim's best Manchester United performance out of possession?

Brighton at Old Trafford.
Bizarrely, an even bigger test for Ruben Amorim and Manchester United than Liverpool at Anfield.
Why?
Because the onus is on United to dominate each phase, something his system is not built to do.

"Ruben Amorim got his tactics absolutely SPOT ON, that's the only way they could win the game."
