Ruben Amorim is under huge pressure as Manchester United head coach after they crashed out of the Carabao Cup against Grimsby Town in midweek. United were second best throughout the clash at Blundell Park and got what they deserved when they eventually lost an epic penalty shootout.
The pathetic performance raised fresh questions over Amorim's suitability for the head coach role, with his tactical set-up torn apart by a League 2 side. United's players also have to take much of the blame, though they might argue they are being made to fail by a formation that doesn't suit their skillset.
It seems like Amorim will need to try something new if he is to transform United's fortunes around, and here is a look at one formation they could use to get more from the players currently at their disposal.
