With Manchester United's performance this season, regardless of whether they can qualify for the Champions League through the Europa League, the team will undergo a very big change this summer. Amorin also confirmed the news in an interview and said that it has received "absolute support" from the club's management. According to the news from the English media Mirror, Manchester United is willing to sell almost all of its players this summer window, only Dogu, Maguire, B Fee and Armad are not within the club's sales range, which is commonly known as "non-sale products".

Dogu joined in the winter window, B Fei is the captain of Manchester United and the best player in the team. The young Amade also performed well, and only Maguire's stay in the team seemed to surprise many fans. During the period of Ronnick and Tenhager, Maguire's tactical status at Manchester United plummeted, and even was once deprived of the captain's armband by Tenhager. In the past two transfer periods, there have been many reports that Maguire left the team and almost went to West Ham United. Now that he has been under Amorin's command, he has become the team's "non-sale product". Has Maguire completed his transformation? The answer may be beyond the expectations of some fans. Maguire has not changed much, or Maguire has always maintained a good state and mentality. Even when he was deprived of the captain's armband, Maguire did not make any complaints, nor did he express his dissatisfaction through the media. Instead, he worked diligently in training and competitions, and finally won the trust of Tenghager and got the time to play. Under Amorin's command, Maguire still has not changed, and even his technical characteristics have not changed much. The key to the problem is that Manchester United's tactics are constantly changing.

Maguire is a typical English central defender, with excellent physical fitness and superior single defense ability, but his speed and turn are very slow, which is also the key reason why Maguire is called the "aircraft carrier". Today, Maguire still has no change in speed. However, compared with the high-level compression and ball-out ability required by the Tenhager era, Amorin's use of Maguire is relatively simple. He does not need to expand his defense range, and will not expose too much of the "slow" disadvantages, and maximize his characteristics of air defense and interception on the middle. Maguire is naturally in a state of being in water.

In Amorin's tactical system, as the central central defender in the three central defenders system, Maguire's shortcomings were covered up, so he naturally performed well, and he also received a contract renewal from the team (activating the terms of staying in the team). In fact, we can see the turmoil in Manchester United in the past few seasons. Players need to constantly adapt to the changes in the head coach, from the defense and counter-revolution of Ole Gunnar during the Solskjaer period, to the oppression of Ronnick and Tenhager, to Amorin's three central defenders. Manchester United's tactical system cannot guarantee inertia, and the players' performance is also very struggling, and it is difficult to perform well.
