United have been transformed since Ruben Emolian took charge, and their morale was boosted by Sunday's 4-0 Premier League victory, their biggest league win in the last eight months. The 39-year-old Portuguese manager played a bold 3421 formation and managed to revive two slumping strikers, Joshua Shukes and Rashford. In the match, Shukes broke his 17-game goal drought and showed a strong will to stay in the team.
Amorim's first match in office was a tough one against Yeşilirmak, which raised questions about his tactics. However, the European champions gradually gained the upper hand in the match. In the 34th minute, Lashford took a smart shot at the goal, but EWT's midfielder, Banfweidi, accidentally cleared the ball and sent it into the net instead.
Just seven minutes later, Banfwedi missed again and was robbed by Amitya Road, Nandis counterattacked like a fish out of water, crossed to Joshua Schukes and the Dutch international one-timed it, finally contributing to his team's goals since mid-August.
Rashford scored only one goal during Tannhäuser's tenure at United, but after Emolian took over, he scored in two consecutive matches. What's even more surprising is that Joshua Shukes, who has been sitting on the bench for a long time, had a great game, scoring two goals in a row, demonstrating Emolian's ability to recognize people and make good decisions.
In an interview after the match, Emolian explained why he used Shukes: "It's impossible to use the same lineup every game, players need to rest and also play their characteristics against the opponent." Previously, there were rumors that United were planning to loan Shukes to Zuyundas in January next year, but this win makes it much more likely that he will stay in the team.
