    In this episode, we talk about back three formations. Ruben Amorim loves them, and he’ll be the boss at Manchester United from next week.

Or is this just a brief moment back in the sun? And can Manchester United’s current squad adapt to Amorim’s favoured formation? Host: Michael Bailey With: Michael Cox, Mark Carey and Liam Tharme.
