Man Utd Flop has seen the value falls of 20 million pounds sterling since Amorim was hired

For the better or for the worst, Ruben Amorim remains attached to his 3-4-2-1 system in Manchester United, although he saw his team plunge into new depths last season in the middle of their dark end of the Premier League.

The Portuguese coach won two championship titles while using this approach to CP Sporting, although his failure – or rather the refusal – to adapt seems to be his loss to Old Trafford, with the wisdom of such a configuration to be made.

On current evidence, it also seems that it is the defeat of the young Kobbie Main, with Amorim almost a year after his mandate and always closer to finding a role established for the sensation of 20 years in his side.

With the manner’s own future may still be ready to debate, the club has judiciously opted against the loan or sale of Mainoo this summer, even in the middle of its limited role, with the midfielder a player who, United, simply cannot unload so early.

Formerly a central part of the Erik Ten Hag team, as well as in the race in Euro 2024 of England, the graduate of the Academy undoubtedly sees his talents wasted at present. Can Amorim have it pulled it again?

Record of mainstay under ten hag vs amorim

Mainoo must surely assume his own responsibility for his dive recently, while also being canceled by an injury in 2024/25, although from the start, he does not seem to have won Amorim’s confidence.

Indeed, the 40 -year -old chose to trigger an aging midfielder’s midfielder from Casemiro and Christian Eriksen for his first match at Ipswich Town, with Mainoo instead of the bench at Portman Road.

This has set the tone for what followed, with the native of Stockport in progress to make 30 appearances in all competitions under the new regime, with only 14 of them from the start.

Among these 30 outings, Mainoo was also underpinned nine times, when he has only contributed two goals and two assists so far – half of which came during the victory of the Europa League against Viktoria Plzen in January.

This performance seemed to show what the young person could do in a number ten role, but he now seems to be resigned to the wrestling with the omnipresent skipper, Bruno Fernandes, in a thumbnail of deep midfielder.

It is no longer the Golden Boy, Mainoo appears far from the player who dazzled under the ten hag watch, having scored five goals and provided a assist in 44 games during the Dutch time at the helm.

38 of these postings notably came from the beginning, with ten hags collecting the awards of his faith in the talent of the time – the final winner of the FA Cup, a case.

Mainoo is not the only one to have suffered under the new diet, Amorim failing to obtain a greenhouse of a certain Rasmus Hojlund.

How Hojlund’s value has fallen since the arrival of Amorim

A frantic end of the window saw United finally moving on their “undesirable” stars, with Jadon Sancho, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho who all left the so-called “ Bomb Squad ‘.

This chain of departures also included Hojlund’s own passage to Serie A Champions Napoli, this agreement was to become a permanent decision of 38 million pounds sterling if certain conditions are met this season.

At a time by Alexander Isak and Yoane Wissa, Hojlund – on his credit – seemed desperate to stay and fight for his place at Old Trafford, even in the middle of the signature of Benjamin Sesko, who would have hesitated to engage in his move of Naples at the start.

Unfortunately for the fan of Boyhood United, Amorim and Co had apparently seen enough last season, the young Dane ending in 2024/25 with only ten goals in his name in all competitions – including only four in the Premier League.

While only Fernandes and Ussair Mazraoui have made more appearances for United since Amorim took care of in November, with Hojlund being aligned 40 times, the partnership has simply not proven to be fruitful.

Who is to be blamed for these misfortunes is to be discussed, the 22 -year -old being certainly promising under ten witch the previous year, after having ended the season as the top scorer in United in all competitions with 18 goals. That said, he also finished the season on the bench, because the Dutchman favored a makeshift duo of Scott Mctominay and Fernandes in his place.

The hope was that after having seen Viktor Gyoker on 66 goals in just 68 games under his watch in Lisbon, the appointment of Amorim could bring Hojlund to even higher peaks.

As it happened, the feeling of the ex-Atalanta was largely a passing through procedures in attack the last mandate, with bonus. According to Sofascore, he in fact missed six “big chances” in the Premier League in 2024/25.

From 18 goals in 51 games of less than ten hag to only eight out of 40 under Amorim, Hojlund turned out to be unable to generate chances himself, or convince his teammates to create opportunities for him. A worrying cocktail.

While sometimes looked like a “Ruud van Nistelrooy” type attacker in his first campaign, according to Cesc Fabregas, Amorim rarely saw the best of the signing of 64 million pounds from United from United – Ni, it must be said, he drew the best of him.

This is nothing more reflected than in its downward market value. According to Transfermarkt, Hojlund was worth a top value of 60 million euros (52 million pounds sterling) in December 2024, just a month after the Portuguese mandate start.

Quick advance to the present day, and its value has flowed at only 35 million euros (31 million pounds sterling), marking a rapid drop since the change of canoe at Old Trafford.

Whether the manager, the system or Hojlund himself is to blame, a record of 26 goals in 96 games is simply not good enough. Hopefully Benjamin Sesko turns out to be a much more prolific leading man.
