"No, we knew that they will play with a five, Amorim told reporters. They will use the width. And, today, was just to do that and then sometimes building up with him open or closed with Luke Shaw doing the opposite. So, we try to arrange the right situations for the situation that we have in the moment. With Leeds boss Daniel Farke favouring a back three, it would appear that Amorim will opt against switching formation for the game at Elland Road."
"The Portuguese tactician, though, could make some changes in terms of personell as Leny Yoro may come in for Lisandro Martinez to offer the Argentine some rest after playing two games in a short space of time following a long layoff. Leny Yoro could be handed a start at Elland Road Manchester United via Getty Imag United's options in defence are limited with Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire and both still missing, while Noussair Mazraoui is away at the Africa Cup of Nations."
Amorim said he adjusted his system to counter Wolves' five-man setup and their use of width, varying buildup with Luke Shaw to create suitable situations. With Leeds manager Daniel Farke favouring a back three, Amorim is expected to retain his formation for the Elland Road match. Leny Yoro may replace Lisandro Martinez to rest Martinez after two games in quick succession following a long layoff and could start at Elland Road. Manchester United have limited defensive options with Matthijs de Ligt and Harry Maguire injured and Noussair Mazraoui at the Africa Cup of Nations. Bruno Fernandes, Mason Mount and Kobbie Mainoo are ruled out, and absences of Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo increase the likelihood of Joshua Zirkzee starting.
