While the results and management of the Manchester United team by Ruben Amorim are increasingly questioned, his future at the head of the Red Devils could be compromised.
Nine months after his appointment on the bench of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim could see his adventure turn short. In any case, this is what the British press suggests. According to The Guardian, the management of the Portuguese coach arouses internal debates, both among the leaders and in the locker room.
The manager of the Red Devils is pointed out in particular for his tactical rigidity. Since his arrival in Old Trafford, last fall, he has been trying to print his brand through a game scheme that still struggles to convince.
Disturbing statements
At a press conference this Friday, Amorim even made remarks judged both clumsy and ambiguous about his future.
“Sometimes I want to leave, sometimes I want to stay here for 20 years. Sometimes I don't want to be with my players. I have to progress on this point, recognized the Mancunian technician. Sometimes I hate my players, sometimes I love them. It's my way of doing things. (…) We had a good pre-season and we were playing better. This kind of performance really disappointed me. But now it's a new match “he said.
And, for some observers, the reception of Burnley this Saturday at home could be decisive for the future of the former Sporting CP coach. Eliminated from the Carabao Cup (English League Cup) by Grimsby Town FC (2-2, 11-12 on penalties) on Wednesday, the Mancunians are already under pressure. With only four points taken in two days-after a defeat against Arsenal (1-0) and a draw against Fulham (1-1)-victory appears more than ever.
