United need midfield arrival as pairing fails to convince Amorim
Daily Post
|August 06, 2025
PRESEASON is all about experimenting and Ruben Amorim did plenty of that during Manchester United's tour of the United States.
United brought a successful tour to a close with a 2-2 draw against Everton in Atlanta on Sunday night, ensuring they won the Premier League Summer Series.
United's tour of the US consisted of three games, two wins, one draw and eight goals.
Their performances in the wins over West Ham United and Bournemouth were particularly impressive.
With just one friendly to go - a clash with Fiorentina at Old Trafford on Saturday lunchtime - head coach Ruben Amorim will potentially use his side's final warm up match to get a good look at the starting XI he plans to unleash for the season opener against Arsenal in just under a fortnight's time.
Over the course of United's opening four preseason friendlies, the first of which was a goalless draw against Leeds United in Stockholm last month, Amorim made 18 changes to his starting XI, ensuring he got the opportunity to get as close a look as possible at the members of his squad.
However, Amorim has not tested the water with many midfield combinations this summer, starting just two different central-midfield partnerships.
