The Tactics Show: Amorim's Ideal XI

#762 Victory over Brentford and, in the second half at least, a decent performance from United. But once again Erik ten Hag's tactics come under question. Did it really take a sense of injustice to inspire this team, or did the manager make an important half-time adjustment? Ed and Dan discuss and then look ahead to United's trip to Turkey in the Europa League.

Wayne has a new book out in the spring looking at that perpetual topic of debate: Manchester United’s identity. The new book “Football Taught By Matt Busby” contains newly unearthed images of Sir Matt Busby as well as interviews with Busby, Sir Alex Ferguson, and other key figures in Manchester United’s history. How did United become the global behemoth it is? And how and why did Busby take the club to the summit of the game – and build an empire that lasted for decades? Ed and Wayne talked about the premise behind the book and how themes of identity and flowed through managers from Busby onwards.

#758 Another home game in the Premier League, another hammering. It's not looking good for Erik ten Hag. United were shambolic from the start against an energetic Spurs side. Bruno's red card didn't help, but the game felt lost long before the dismissal. Now United must pick up again. Ed and Dan ask how it came to this and look ahead to the Europa League fixtures against Porto on Thursday.
