Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim remains hopelessly devoted to his 3-4-2-1 formation.
Despite countless calls to pursue something different, the under-fire boss has held firm and persisted with the system that brought him plenty of success with Sporting CP.

Amorim doubled down on his belief before the 2–1 win over Crystal Palace, publicly calling out Patrick Dorgu, a player signed specifically to help the introduction of the 3-4-2-1 formation in February 2025, for not bringing enough composure to possession.
With no doubt over Amorim’s next transfer priority, here are 10 potential targets for United heading into the January transfer window.
