“Enough” – Pundit drops sensational Ruben Amorim exit prediction as Mourinho proved ‘right’ | OneFootball

While some observers believe Ruben Amorim could be facing the sack, Stan Collymore suggests the manager could leave Manchester United but for a different reason.

The Portuguese tactician was only appointed in November as a replacement for Erik ten Hag. But as expected, his mission proved to be particularly daunting. However, the main issue for Amorim is that the club continues to plummet towards new lows. Sunday’s defeat at Tottenham left them in a shocking 15th place in the Premier League table.

This has already prompted unthinkable relegation talks, even though most pundits believe the Red Devils should have enough points in the tally to survive by the end of the season, mostly thanks to the woeful forms of the likes of Southampton, Ipswich and Leicester City.

Therefore, Amorim has made it clear on several occasions that his job is on the line since it naturally hinges on the club’s results. Moreover, there has been a growing number of news reports suggesting the management could indeed pull the trigger on the 40-year-old’s time at Carrington.

Nevertheless, Collymore believes quite the contrary. The former Aston Villa and Liverpool striker believes Man Utd have the right man in Amorim, but it is the latter who could decide to call it a day and end his collaboration with the club.

“For Man United, they’ve got the right man, but instead of sacking him, it might be a case of him having had enough and going back to Portugal,” suggested Collymore in his exclusive column for CaughtOffside.

“Jose Mourinho was vocal about what’s wrong at Old Trafford. Erik ten Hag said it. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said it. Every single Man United manager over the last seven or eight years has said it and they were all right. And that’s the worry.

“I don’t worry about Man United moving on from Ruben Amorim but my worry is that Ruben Amorim will move on from Man United.”

Amorim’s current deal with the Red Devils is valid until June 2027, but this shouldn’t stop either party from reaching a mutual termination.
