Every Manchester United game under Rúben Amorim has felt like a potential crisis.

A loss sparks talk of sackings, or a win brings only brief relief until the next fixture.

While this past weekend’s win over Liverpool represents the highest of highs, the Red Devils‘ season so far has been defined by inconsistency.

As analysts, we look for patterns beneath that volatility.

One clear trend has emerged: Manchester United win more and defend better when Casemiro starts.

This Manchester United tactical analysis article and Casemiro scout report examines the data and tactical dynamics behind that pattern to understand why Casemiro’s presence increases Amorim’s side’s likelihood of getting a positive result, despite the system’s deeper flaws.

AC Milan made a crucial comeback against Fiorentina at the San Siro in Milan.

They’ve now secured the top spot in the Serie A standings, exploiting the negative results of many of these opponents.

With Napoli, Juventus, and Atalanta all losing in the same fixture and Atalanta drawing against Lazio, I Rossoneri have won more than three points from this match.

The timing of this win allows them to put some distance between themselves and their direct rivals and eventually play the upcoming games with more confidence.

It is worth noting that Massimiliano Allegri’s side did not start their Serie A campaign well.

They lost their first encounter against Cremonese, but soon put together a series of wins, including a single draw against Juventus in Turin.

AC Milan also beat the title holders Napoli at San Siro, making a clear statement of their challenge for the title, knowing that the objective on paper is to secure the fourth spot.

This UEFA Champions League football objective will certainly alleviate the pressure regarding AC Milan’s possible challenge for the title.

It will help considering them as the underdogs as we move forward, with Napoli and Inter Milan being considered as more favourites for this battle.

However, it will not be surprising if AC Milan continue to challenge for the top spot, especially if they sustain this run of form and succeed in coping well with the absences and in-game circumstances.

Allegri and AC Milan needed to win this challenging game despite the absences and the tricky Fiorentina side, which appears to be a normal team to many but can be extremely powerful, especially against the big teams.

Having a head coach like Stefano Pioli, who knows many of the AC Milan players and who has led the team to winning Serie A previously, was also something to take into consideration when preparing the match, as Pioli knows their strengths and weaknesses very well.

For Fiorentina, the situation has been very disappointing so far.

The club’s hopes at the start of the season were to begin the competition with convincing wins and enter the battle for European spots early.

However, Fiorentina failed to do so despite the arrival of a head coach who knows Fiorentina very well, like Pioli.

They won zero games while losing four and drawing on three occasions.

Things are getting even worse with the painful loss against AC Milan, as I Viola have only three points and are ranked 18th in the relegation zone.

The club should find a solution to stop these negative results and start winning points, as Fiorentina’s hopes are not merely battling for relegation but are used to competing for European spots.

This solution might not necessarily be the sacking of Pioli, but the psychological and tactical work with the players to give them a huge boost and help win points to move higher in the standings before it becomes too late.

In this tactical analysis of Milan vs Fiorentina, we will explore AC Milan’s confirmed strengths and what helped them make a comeback late in the match.

Argentinos Juniors are one of the biggest sensations in Argentine football in 2025.

El Bicho, a cradle of talents like Fernando Redondo, Juan Román Riquelme, or the legendary Diego Armando Maradona, have established themselves as a contender for the Torneo Clausura.

Positioned third in the Annual Table, the last direct qualifying spot for the Copa Libertadores, the team led by Nicolás Diez dream of becoming local champion again, something they have achieved only three times (Metropolitano 1984, Nacional 1985, and Clausura 2010).

With an attractive, fresh style consistent with the club’s historical taste, Argentinos have practically secured their presence in the final playoffs of the year.

This is complemented by their strong performance in the Copa Argentina, where they will face Belgrano de Córdoba in the semi-finals.

The present is almost unbeatable.

Diez has built a team that defends the idea of a game with functional freedoms, relying on skilled players and associative circulation reminiscent, in spirit, of the principles of Lionel Scaloni’s national team.

True to their DNA, Argentinos do not hesitate to bring together talents like Alan Lescano, Nicolás Oroz, Hernán López Muñoz (Diego Maradona’s great-nephew), or Matías Giménez in the same lineup.

It is an attractive project that we will analyse in detail in this article, especially regarding midfield functioning.
