Gary Neville has voiced concerns that Ruben Amorim is struggling to sell his ideas to Manchester United’s players, and Confidential understands some of them have discussed among themselves whether a change of plan that is better suited to their style of play may be the best way forward.
That’s unlikely to happen anytime soon after Amorim vowed to stand by his philosophy at all costs despite losing eight of his 20 games in charge, playing a 3-4-3 formation with wing backs.
But United face Tottenham on Sunday with both clubs uncomfortably close to the relegation zone, and there is growing concern among some players that the teething problems they have experienced under Amorim are not going to improve unless he considers at least tweaking the system.
