Ruben Amorim might unleash a new Manchester United attack vs Lyon - but it would be wrong

There are three guarantees in life: death, taxes and Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim tinkering with his attack.

Rotation has been a running theme since Amorim succeeded Erik ten Hag as United boss last November, with the former Sporting Lisbon chief regularly chopping and changing to contend with injury issues and a relentless fixture schedule.

Against Manchester City on Sunday, for example, Amorim brought Rasmus Hojlund back into the starting XI at Joshua Zirkzee's expense after the Dane had started the 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest five days earlier on the bench. He was supported in attack by Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho.

Hojlund's recall to the starting XI marked the 16th successive game that Amorim had made at least one change to his attack. He last named the same front-three for successive fixtures when United beat Arsenal on penalties in the FA Cup and then Southampton 3-1 in the Premier League in January.

On those two occasions, Hojlund was given the nod to lead the line, supported by Garnacho and Fernandes. However, since then, Fernandes has offered more to the team as a No.8, Kobbie Mainoo has experienced life as a No.10, Mason Mount has returned from injury, Hojlund has scored just one goal, albeit to end the goal drought he was already on, and Zirkzee has only scored twice.

With all that in mind, it is little wonder Amorim is still looking for the right solution. United are still struggling to score goals and it is no secret the addition of a striker has to be the main priority this summer.

Until United reach the summer transfer window, Amorim has got to make ends meet and work with what is available to him. But his constant tinkering makes it crystal clear that he is yet to stumble
