I get where you're coming from with that, but I don't agree. I reckon he decided (rightly in my view) that he wasn't going to get a tune out of that bunch of wasters because no-one will, system or no system, and that taking them on was the only alternative left. Rashford and Garnacho ruined their own reputations IMO, Rashford especially as he basically went walkabout for the past couple of seasons there. Tiptoeing around the problem has been tried - repeatedly - and failed under a succession of managers before Amorim. They need nothing short of a revolution there.
