Although Manchester United are struggling, this match could be a turning point, both an opportunity for Amorim to prove himself and a big challenge for a team facing internal turmoil.
Manchester United's internal struggles
Manchester United are currently facing a constant struggle between factions within the club. From fans opposing the Glazers, to the divide between Ratcliffe supporters and those against, it all makes for a tense environment.
In addition, conflicts between players, coaches and other departments within the club further complicated the situation. However, in the chaos, Ruben Amorim was not the one who received the most criticism.
Even when Manchester United went through a series of failures, the Portuguese coach seemed safe. No one blamed him when the team struggled. Amorim had the advantage of "hiding" in the failures of others. While it was not the ideal choice for Manchester United to hire a rigid strategist like him mid-season, it was not the Portuguese's fault.
With his calm, easy-going personality and charming appearance, Amorim could be considered the "cool uncle" Manchester United needs, instead of the tired soldier or the sad coach. In the current situation, the team needs someone who can help them overcome the stress, to find the joy of playing football again.

Ruben Amorim has a good record against Man City. |
Amid a difficult period, the derby with Manchester City remains an important fixture for Amorim and Manchester United. There are at least three reasons why this game is an opportunity not to be missed.
Firstly, it is an opportunity for Manchester United to disrupt the season of Manchester City, who are in danger of missing out on Champions League football next season. This is especially important given Amorim’s record against Pep Guardiola in the past. While this record is by no means a sure thing, it is clear that Amorim’s tactics could cause problems for Guardiola’s side.
Secondly, this derby is a chance for Amorim to demonstrate the improvement in Manchester United's playing style, although the result is not entirely convincing. One positive point is that the team can play better when facing strong teams. It may be because the players only really focus and play their best when facing strong opponents, but it may also be because Amorim's tactics create a solid formation and effective counter-attacks, giving the team more confidence.
Ultimately, Manchester United's main focus is the Europa League, where a win could see them return to the Champions League. To win the Europa League, Manchester United need to overcome strong opponents such as Lyon, Bilbao, Frankfurt and Lazio.

This is a huge opportunity not only for Ruben Amorim but also for the club, as it could bring huge Champions League revenue in the future. But before they can dream of that, Amorim and his players need to regain their confidence - something that could be restored if they beat Manchester City.
Decisive chance for Amorim and Manchester United's future
This Manchester derby - certainly not an easy one - could prove to be a pivotal moment in Amorim's career and Manchester United's future. A win would not only restore confidence, but could also give them momentum for the rest of the season.
Manchester United has always been a story of collapse and rebuilding, and in difficult moments the team needs to find the right direction. If Amorim can get Manchester United past Manchester City and achieve positive results in the rest of the season, he will have proven himself to be the right man to lead the team through this rebuilding phase.
With opportunities ahead, challenges are not lacking, and Manchester United's future could be brighter if they can overcome this difficult period. The Manchester derby will be one of the most important opportunities that the team cannot afford to miss.
