Overview
- The Daily Mail reports head of recruitment Christopher Vivell shared Fulham quotes in a senior leadership WhatsApp chat and pressed for a less predictable setup.
- Marco Silva and Alex Iwobi publicly outlined how United’s back five and two-man midfield could be overloaded, referencing August’s 1-1 draw.
- Club chiefs are said to be questioning Ruben Amorim’s methods, with reporting of more fraught exchanges with director Jason Wilcox.
- Amorim has largely kept faith with a 3-4-3 that critics say is underperforming at Old Trafford, with a reported 38.71% win rate versus 71% at Sporting.
- Recent uneven displays, including a 1-1 at Wolves, and absences such as Amad Diallo at AFCON are cited as factors compounding scrutiny before Sunday’s trip to Leeds.
