Academy not playing the Amorim way

- by SIMON MULLOCK

RUBEN AMORIM'S bid to make Manchester United play his way is facing an added complication because the club's academy teams continue to use a tactical blueprint that does NOT fit his philosophy.

Amorim accepts that United are unable to spend their way back to the top after missing out on a £100million Champions League jackpot with defeat in the Europa League final.

And the Reds Devils boss is ready to keep up the Old Trafford tradition of bringing through youngsters from United's hugely productive youth set-up during his rebuild after implementing a similar plan at Sporting Lisbon.

But United's academy teams are grounded to play a 4-3-3 system that Amorim has no faith in.
