Postecoglou urges Man Utd to stick with Amorim despite poor form | OneFootball

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou believes that Man Utd will see progress in the next two years if they stick with manager Ruben Amorim through the hard times.

The Portuguese has endured a tough start to life at Old Trafford since replacing Erik ten Hag last November, winning just nine of his 20 games in charge.

The Red Devils are currently closer to the relegation zone than they are the top four in the table as Amorim struggles to implement his tactical vision on the team.

Postecoglou has similarly found it difficult to get results with a distinct style of play in the Premier League this season; Tottenham Hotspur are two points behind this weekend’s opponents in the standings.

The Australian evidently sees parallels in their respective situations and backs his counterpart to show his worth, if given the time to do so.

“I’ve got respect for all managers because I know how tough it is,” Postecoglou said ahead of Sunday’s encounter between Spurs and United.

“But I’m sure if you asked Ruben, he would say he’s doing what he was brought in to do. They’ve scouted him, identified him as the way he plays, the way he goes about his business. You don’t make these appointments because you like the look of someone, you do a lot of work and you bring him in with a purpose.

“Now if anyone believes that could change significantly in a short space of time, they’re living in an alternate universe not based in reality.

“Who am I to advise anybody, but if Man Utd stick with Ruben for the next two years, they’d see progress absolutely because that’s how long it takes.

“If someone can show me someone who has done it quicker without significant investment, by all means put it across my desk and I’ll follow that blueprint.”
