On the WeAreTheOverlap podcast, Belgium's Martínez described Amorim's 3-4-3 logic: using Fernandes' ball-carrying from deep to build possession securely from the back. The tactic divided fans during Amorim's 14-month stint, which ended January 5, 2026, after poor results like 28 points from 29 games drew heavy criticism for being too predictable. Now, under interim boss Michael Carrick—unbeaten in nine games with wins over Manchester City and Arsenal—United sit fourth and top the form table, prompting some to credit Amorim's foundations while others hail Carrick's pragmatic shifts like moving Fernandes forward.
