Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has insisted he was right to withdraw striker Joshua Zirkzee midway through Tuesday’s 1–1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers, despite facing intense criticism from Gary Neville for doing so.
Having sprung a surprise switch to a 4-2-3-1 setup during the 1–0 win over Newcastle United at the weekend, Amorim had his side warm up in the same system before reverting back to his controversial 3-4-2-1 formation at kick-off in an attempt to confuse a side with just two points from their first 18 games.
