Ruben Amorim Leads Premier League in Line-Up Alterations

Ruben Amorim has managed Manchester United for seven games, and the extensive number of line-up changes he has implemented during this period clearly indicates he is still in the process of identifying his preferred starting XI from the 25 senior players available to him. In the Premier League, across the five matches he has overseen, he averages 3.8 line-up changes per game, totaling 19 alterations. Prior to this weekend’s round of games, no other manager who had taken charge of two or more top-flight matches this season had averaged more than 2.9 line-up changes from one match to the next. Amorim has also utilized the maximum allowance of five substitutions in all his league games. This significant level of rotation is further demonstrated by United’s defensive line-ups, which have featured a distinct centre-back duo or trio in each of their five Premier League games under Amorim.
