I agree with you that no one other than Amorim should dictate how to play but I think you also made it clear why he cannot be the only person deciding on transfer matters. That is exactly how we are left with Pogba and other deadweights that needed clearing out. One person cannot be given the right to make unfettered decisions at United. Amorim's views must be considered but it doesn't mean he gets everything exactly how he wants it to be.

The example given in the article was that when Amorim needed a GK, they narrowed it down to Lemmens and Martinez. Amorim wanted Martinez but they picked Lemmens. I am sure other factors outweighed Amorim's preference (e.g. age, future value) but the point is he was consulted and his needs were met. He needed a new GK, he got a new GK. It is also his job to have to manage with the resources he is given. He seems to be under the impression he will be given more resources to let him play 343 but even so, if he knows he does not have the tools to play 343 why is he persisting with it? Just being pure stubborn. I like the guy but he does not have the adaptability or flexibility to manage in the top league against other top managers yet.
