Since Oliver Glasner took over as manager in February 2024, the Emirates FA Cup holders have predominantly utilized a 3-4-2-1 formation, similar to United’s under Amorim.
Crystal Palace has become one of the standout teams in the Premier League, currently sitting fifth in the standings, even while managing additional commitments in Europe.
However, the Eagles—who are heading into Sunday’s midday kickoff following a 2-1 loss to Strasbourg on Thursday—do not operate under the same conditions as us, according to the manager, making their approach not directly replicable.
“We have a different style of play, which is evident in the data. It’s challenging to articulate everything right now, but as you mentioned, they are a different club and performing better than us, which is quite straightforward,” Amorim said when asked if he finds inspiration or motivation in Palace’s success.
