Manchester United have finally got something that Liverpool, Man City and Arsenal have

Ruben Amorim has overseen wins against Manchester City and Arsenal, and Manchester United went toe-to-toe with Liverpool at Anfield, which isn't too bad for someone who has been forced to operate with square pegs in round holes after inheriting a squad not built for his formation.

United's gutsy victory with 10-men against Arsenal in the FA Cup third round on Sunday afternoon was a step in the right direction for Amorim and another reminder that he is a proper coach.

Amorim outfoxed Pep Guardiola at the Etihad, his side could have won against the league leaders in Merseyside and he recorded his first victory against Mikel Arteta in difficult circumstances.

Of course, there have been speed bumps along the way and some awful results since Amorim took charge, but he's won the tactical battle against three of Europe's best managers during his first few months in England and that points toward a more prosperous future at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag compromised his values at the first hurdle he faced during his tenure, which meant he was on the back foot when trying to shift the team's philosophy after his first season.

After defeats to Brighton and Brentford, Ten Hag needed to get results quickly after his arrival and he did, only that was at the cost of a long-term plan. And when the Dutchman eventually tried to make United align more with his ideal way of playing, it was too late and didn't work.

In comparison, Amorim has refused to shift from his formation and system, which has given the team a clear identity, something that will increase
