Ange Postecoglou offers Man Utd advice over Ruben Amorim | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has urged Manchester United to stick with counterpart Ruben Amorim and give him the time needed to rebuild the club.

The two under-fire managers will meet on Sunday when 14th-placed Spurs host 13th-placed United, and the dilemmas facing both Postecoglou and Amorim have seen a public bond form between the two in the build-up to the game.

Amorim did not hide his admiration for Postecoglou in his pre-match press conference, and the favour was soon returned by the Spurs boss.

"I'm sure if you asked Ruben, he would say he was just doing what he was brought in to do," Postecoglou said. "Obviously, they've scouted him, they've identified him, the way he plays, the way he goes about his business.

"You don't just make these appointments because you like the look of someone. You do actually a lot of work and you bring him in with a purpose. Now, if anyone believes that anything can change significantly in a short space of time, they're living in an alternative universe that is not based on reality.

"I'm sure – who am I to advise anybody? – but if Man Utd stuck with Ruben for the next two years, they'd see progress, absolutely, because that's how long it takes. And if someone can show me somebody who has done it quicker without significant investment, by all means put it across my desk and I'll follow that blueprint. But we know there's a blueprint there.

"I'm sure irrespective of the noise - I've only literally spoken to Ruben for probably 30 seconds at a game - I'm sure he's there going: 'I'm going to do what I was brought into do', and that's what he should do."
