Ruben Amorim aims to revive back-three formation at Manchester United

Ruben Amorim, the new manager of Manchester United, plans to implement a 3-4-3 formation, a style that has become rare in the Premier League. Only 14% of teams have used a back three this season, the lowest since 2016. Under Amorim, Manchester United is expected to change significantly. He will not use wingers as full-backs, leading to competition among eight players for three forward positions. The team may also need to acquire new central defenders soon. Historically, top clubs have moved away from the back three, with only Manchester City using it regularly. Amorim's success could influence a resurgence of this formation in the league.
