Amorim looks the part.<\/p>\n

He strode into Portman Road wearing a very big coat, which the much milder temperatures didn\u2019t actually require.<\/p>\n

There was a purpose about his manner. His pre-match hug with opposite number Kieran McKenna was cordial and nothing more.<\/p>\n

And Rashford’s opener within two minutes was the perfect start. It wasn\u2019t long though before Amorim was calling Diogo Dalot and Alejandro Garnacho over during a brief break in play to explain how he expected their combination to work.<\/p>\n

Once that conversation was done, he explained what he wanted to Jonny Evans and Casemiro.<\/p>\n

The term learning on the job could not be more apt.<\/p>\n

“Did we really, from what we have seen this season, expect this to be a Manchester United team transformed?” questioned Chris Sutton on Radio 5 Live. “Ruben Amorim wants to change the style but the players have been away on international duty. It is impossible for him to just flick a switch.”<\/p>\n

The style, as expected, featured three central defenders and wing backs. This is the “idea” Amorim told everyone they would see as soon as he started work.<\/p>\n

The positions of Noussair Mazraoui and Amad were the surprises in terms of selection. Right-sided defender of a back three is Mazraoui\u2019s fourth position of the season.<\/p>\n

Amad is a winger but was deemed a better alternative than Alejandro Garnacho at wing-back, who was given a more forward role.<\/p>\n

The Ivorian\u2019s surging run and cross created Rashford\u2019s goal and late in the game he was noticeably chasing back to retrieve a loose ball in the United box before Mazraoui urged him to get back upfield.<\/p>\n

“In three days he has improved so much defensively,” said Amorim. “His opponent all the time was the left-back so it was just like a winger following him. It is easier because he just follows one guy and its man-to-man. He was so focused and did a great job.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
