Murphy: Amorim cannot put round pegs in square holes

The Red Devils were second best at the Etihad Stadium as Phil Foden’s first-half header and Erling Haaland’s second-half double gave Pep Guardiola’s side the victory at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
“I’m not a fan of the shape, but after the first four games I think it has improved — they look like they know what they are doing more.
“Their bigger problem has been the individuals he has been playing in that system. Bruno Fernandes has been one of the best number 10s in Europe, Amorim wants him to play as an Eight and do defensive work, which he does not do well.
