Rúben Amorim arrived as the culture reset. A bold 3-4-3. High press. Clear roles. Yet results are sliding and the pressure is real. In this episode Erasmus digs into the real issue at Manchester United: is it tactics, squad fit, or years of change fatigue catching up with the club?

He covers:

- What Amorim’s system asks from every line

- Why Sporting’s blueprint worked and what is missing at United

- Five managers in seven years and the cost of constant reinvention

- Players out of position, recruitment trade-offs, and timeline pressure

- Growing pains vs warning signs and what must change now

- Practical fixes that build belief without abandoning the plan

Tell us in the comments: is this a process problem or a personnel problem?
