Ruben Amorim will not change Manchester United's tactics even at the request of the Pope.

According to The Sun: The head coach of 'Manchester United' Ruben Amorim confirmed that he does not plan to change his tactics, even if such a request comes from the Pope himself.

Against this background, he had a meeting with the club's part-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, as the team is experiencing its worst start to the season in the Premier League since 1992.

Support and Changes

Despite criticism regarding his refusal to change the 3-4-3 tactic, Amorim is confident in the support of Ratcliffe, CEO Omar Berrada, and sports director Jason Wilcox after a planned meeting on Thursday.

“No, no, no. No one. Not even the Pope will change this. This is my job. This is my responsibility. This is my life. So I will not change it.”

Amorim humorously noted during the meeting with Ratcliffe: “He offered me a new contract!”

“No, it was just an ordinary supportive conversation — he explained that this is a long-term project, which he has talked about many times. We talked about regular matters with Omar, Jason, and him.”

The coach is confident that his style of play will change, but this will only be possible in time, as changes now could send the wrong signal.

“There will be changes, but we need to take all the right steps. If I change this at this moment, they will look at me differently.”

“I do things my way. Some do it differently, but everything will change. Hopefully, I will have time for changes.”

The Club Situation

'United' has earned only four points from the first four league games and crashed out of the Carabao Cup against League Two club 'Grimsby'.

Amorim understands why some consider the meeting important, adding: “At this moment it is normal for you to pay attention to it.”

“This is a football club with more pressure than perhaps any other in the world — and we want to win.”

Recently, he has been linked with a possible return to 'Benfica', where he played, before José Mourinho's appointment. The coach emphasized that there has been no contact and acknowledges that when his time at 'Old Trafford' comes to an end, he will need a break.

“No contact. I am the coach of 'Manchester United'. As of now, nothing will change, and that could happen next month, tomorrow, in ten years — I will take a break because I deserve it.”

Current Squad Changes

The match against world champions 'Chelsea' will see winger Alejandro Garnacho return to the club just 21 days after his sale.

The last few days have seen the first goals for Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund at their new clubs.

Amorim hopes that the Argentine Garnacho, who moved to 'Chelsea' for £40 million, will not be able to score in this match.

He also has not yet confirmed whether Altay Bayindir will remain in goal ahead of the new signing Senne Lammen, who has been signed for £18.2 million.

“Everyone must fight. I am just trying to win matches. I aim to understand what the best option is to achieve victory in the next match.”

“So by the end of the season, perhaps it will be another team on the field.”

“We are trying to find the most optimal combinations for better play and earning points.”

The situation at 'Manchester United' is associated with certain difficulties, however, coach Ruben Amorim is determined and hopes for gradual changes in the team. His support from the management allows hope for positive developments in the future, despite the crisis that the club is experiencing.
