Ruben Amorim has been told that the manager isn't the problem at Manchester United, who have been advised to "get back to schoolboy football". The former Sporting CP coach, who was parachuted into Old Trafford last November with a glowing reputation, has seen his new chapter in England crash hard amid an extremely poor run of results.
Gareth Southgate has reportedly laid out his demands for a "four-year rebuild" at Manchester United, with the ex-England boss continuing to see a return to management at Old Trafford speculated on. That is because current Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim finds himself falling under ever-increasing pressure, with more change in the dugout being mooted less than a year after reins were handed to the highly-rated Portuguese tactician.
Michael Carrick has a new job as rumours of a potential Manchester United return do the rounds. Carrick has been linked with a move back to Old Trafford for a second interim spell as United weigh up whether to sack Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese boss is under mounting pressure to turn the club's fortunes around with United currently mired in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
Manchester United reportedly considered appointing former coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer before they hired Ruben Amorim last November. The Portuguese coach was brought in from Sporting CP as United parted ways with Erik ten Hag after a poor start to the 2024-25 campaign. Solskjaer managed the Red Devils for three years before being dismissed in November 2021.
Manchester United have been told to avoid Oliver Glasner as a potential successor for Ruben Amorim. United are under pressure to sack Amorim, who has struggled since replacing Erik ten Hag at the Old Trafford last November, and replace him with the Austrian. Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson, though, believes the Premier League powerhouse should avoid the Crystal Palace boss.
Wayne Rooney claims that under-fire Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim would be “absolutely slaughtered” if he made selection calls similar to those which saw Arne Slot’s Liverpool suffer a disappointing Champions League defeat at Galatasaray. The Reds have now come unstuck in their last two fixtures, with the odd question being asked of why a Dutch tactician at Anfield is tinkering so much.
Ex-Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara has called for Manchester United to hire former captain Roy Keane as manager, in a bid to reverse the Red Devils' atrocious form under Ruben Amorim. The talkSPORT pundit lauded the fiery Irishman for his leadership skills, saying the 58-year-old would "not allow poor standards". O'Hara did acknowledge the club was highly unlikely to make the move, however.
Ruben Amorim was shocked by the 'knee-jerk reaction' to Manchester United's latest defeat, as they lost 3-1 to Brentford, and insiders at the club now fear that he will resign, instead of being sacked, per a new report.
