Manchester United’s 4–2 win over Brighton was defined by more than Amorim’s overall tactical setup, it was shaped by the partnership between Luke Shaw and Benjamin Šeško. In this video, I break down how Šeško’s relentless pressing and Shaw’s composure in duels gave Amorim the perfect balance between control and aggression. What looked like individual brilliance was actually part of a deliberate system.
I analyze how Šeško’s intensity forced Brighton to play away from their central comfort zones, and how Shaw capitalized on that by dominating his one-on-one battles against Rutter. Every pressing trigger, every recovery run, and every tactical rotation had a purpose, and Amorim executed it through his players perfectly.
By the end, Brighton were forced to play Amorim’s game; wide, predictable, and reactive. This performance wasn’t just about tactics on paper; it was about execution, chemistry, and intelligent pressing. Shaw and Šeško embodied Amorim’s philosophy of control through structure. Let’s analyze.

Scarlet is the best at this
There's one more unsung hero, Diogo Dalot. I know everybody will complain about this but listen. He worked so many tasks profesionally.
1. He stayed wide when Cunha cut inside
2. Became the last CB on the left when luke shaw pressed until the other pitch.
3. As no 6 when case moved forward then he assisted and made a goal.
4. As a left back when the defense shift to the right so that Yoro could move forward.
So Amorim chose him not because of his nationality but his versatility.
How about it, Mr. Scarlet? @scarlet
For me, Amad and casemiro are the unsung heroes. Really been so good!!!

Hey Mate you are amazing, you deserve way more subscribers. Your tactical analysis is top, far superior to any other "tacticos" I see online nowadays
Hey Mr. Scarlet, I love your analysis and it inspires me to learn more about football tactics in general. I have a question, Amorim kept mentioning that he will not change his system, but there will be evolutions in his system. So my question is, are these tactical tweaks actually an evolution of his system? Or is he just approaching all games as a cup final just to get points on the table?
You are the best my guy keep it up
❤

Finally someone mentions Luke Shaw, the game against Liverpool he was my MOTM, he intercepted like 5 that almost led to goals.
Fantastic analysis – watching this as a Man Utd fan, but also trying to take these lessons into my 7-a-sides matches (as a 43 yr old) haha
