Ruben Amorim reveals Man United are 'stealing' tactics from Premier League rivals

Ruben Amorim on Man United's Tactical Approach

Ruben Amorim, the Sporting Lisbon manager, has claimed that Manchester United are "stealing" tactics from other Premier League teams. He pointed out how United have adapted set-piece strategies similar to those of their English rivals.

"They are copying and stealing tactics from other teams in the Premier League," Amorim said.

This comment came in the context of contrasting United's tactical style with other clubs, notably Arsenal, who are among the league's most prolific set-piece scorers.

Match Performance Insight

During a recent match, Manchester United struggled to generate clear chances in the first half. Their Expected Goals (xG) metric from open play before halftime was notably low, indicating a lack of offensive creativity early in the game.

Despite this, United have nonetheless become effective from set pieces, rivaling Arsenal for set-piece goals.

Set-Piece Effectiveness

Manchester United's growing proficiency on set pieces highlights their tactical evolution. Their ability to score from these situations places them alongside Arsenal at the top of the Premier League in this aspect.
