Amorim could mix things up further by moving the Dutchman to the central centre-back position and Maguire to the left. Maguire has experience playing as the left-sided defender in a three for England and Hull City but he is more of a ball-carrying centre-back than a passer.

Ruben Amorim admitted there was a key part of Manchester United's come-from-behind FA Cup fourth-round win over Leicester City that did not sit right with him. However, despite many claiming Harry Maguire's stoppage-time winner should have been ruled offside, his gripe with the game came much earlier in the match.

Paul Scholes appeared to criticise Ruben Amorim ’s tactics during Manchester United ’s last-gasp victory against Leicester City in the FA Cup on Friday night. United delivered a dismal first-half performance at Old Trafford and were behind at the break as Bobby De Cordova-Reid opened the scoring for Leicester.
