Amorim sacked by Man United? Rumours swirl ex-Sporting boss is in hot water | OneFootball

The future of Ruben Amorim at Manchester United is in question. Following the humiliating defeat against fourth division Grimsby Town in the second round of the League Cup, many believe that the journey of the former Sporting coach with the red devils is in check.

According to information advanced by The Guardian newspaper, many of the Portuguese coach's pupils question his 3-4-3 game system at the Old Trafford club. The main reason behind this doubt is based on the use of three center-backs.

Even so, despite Ruben Amorim's work being in question, the British daily believes that Manchester United will not dismiss the coach they hired from Sporting in November 2024: “United has no plans to dismiss Amorim, but there is a feeling in the club that, if the results do not change, his stubbornness may lead him to resign rather than change his methods”.

In addition to the tactics used, the red devils' coach's ability as a people manager was also questioned: “There is also perplexity regarding his approach to people management, which is seen by many stakeholders as well-intentioned, but sometimes counterproductive”.

After being deemed as "doomed", a series of names that could succeed Ruben Amorim as coach of Manchester United are already emerging. Associated with taking on this role are Gareth Southgate, Michael Carrick, Oliver Glasner, Mauricio Pochettino, Kieran McKenna, Zinedine Zidane, Marco Silva, Andoni Iraola, and Xavi Hernández.
