They lost 2-0 to Newcastle last time out, but then Amorim fielded Casemiro and Christian Eriksen together in midfield.Merson feared the worst.
He told Sky Sports: “When the teams came out the other day (against Newcastle) I thought they did well to keep it 2-0.
“(Christian) Eriksen and Casemiro have been top-drawer players, but to play them in midfield, the manager has to get used to understanding that it’s not Portuguese football. It’s the Premier League now. It’s different from Portuguese football. is on the planet.
“When he lined up with them in midfield against (Sandro) Tonali, Bruno (Guimaris) and Joelton, I thought ‘these two are going to be absolutely destroyed’. And as I said, I thought They did well to lose by just two.
“I don’t know how much money they got from Financial Fair Play. They have a lot of players they need to get rid of at the same time. It’s a tough job (at Man Utd).
“You are talking about one of the biggest clubs in the world… but at the moment, they are all over the place.
“The way he wants to play doesn’t suit Man Utd. They haven’t got the personnel to play the way he wants to play. When you play three at the back, the most important thing is that you have great Must have wing backs – and they don’t have great wing backs. Both full backs are good defensively, but they are not good going forward.

Merson added: “I’ve said it a few times, I think the manager would have been a good fit for Chelsea. Don’t get me wrong, Enzo Maresca has been brilliant, but if you have to choose a club for him in the Premier League The way Amorim wants to play, you’ll put him in. Chelsea have a lot of centre-halves who are quick.
They have wing-backs who are amazing in (Ben) Chilwell, (Malo) Gusto, (Reece) James – natural wing-backs who can go forward and defend.
“They have legs in midfield in (Moises) Caicedo and (Romeo) Lavia, and then they have talent going forward. I think he will tick the box at Chelsea. Man Utd With , I don’t see how it fits.
“There’s a lot of work to be done to get to the way he wants to play and it’s going to take a lot of time for a lot of players to come in and out. And the way the rules are now, I don’t know if that’s going to happen. How long will it take?
