Hupu News, October 19th Recently, when former Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster was a guest on the "talkSPORT" radio program, he questioned Amorim's tactical concepts, especially his opposition to his frequent substitution of central defenders during games.

Ben Foster said: "If a football team wants to maintain stable performance, it must have a solid defensive foundation. When you constantly adjust the lineup - not only the central defender, but also the goalkeeper are frequently changed - this is simply paving the way for failure."

"You cannot replace the central defender in the 60th minute of the game. Defenders, they need to play for 90 minutes. Unless the team is already 2-0 or 3-0 ahead, then it makes sense to change talents, but Manchester United simply does not have such an advantage. Every minute before the end of the game, they are either struggling to maintain the lead or trying to equalize the score."
