Amorim sacked by Man United? Ex-Sporting boss in hot water

The future of Ruben Amorim at Manchester United is in doubt . After the humiliating defeat against Grimsby Town from the English fourth division, in the second round of the League Cup, many believe that the former Sporting coach’s journey with the Red Devils is at stake.

According to information from The Guardian newspaper, many of the Portuguese coach’s players are questioning his 3-4-3 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 job being at risk, the British daily believes that Manchester United will not dismiss the coach they hired from Sporting in November 2024: “United has no plans to sack Amorim, but there is a feeling at the club that, if 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 has also been questioned: “ There is also perplexity regarding his approach to people management , which is seen by many as well-intentioned, but sometimes counterproductive.”

After being considered “doomed”, a series of names have already emerged who could succeed Ruben Amorim as Manchester United manager. Linked to taking on this role are Gareth Southgate, Michael Carrick, Oliver Glasner, Mauricio Pochettino, Kieran McKenna, Zinedine Zidane, Marco Silva, Andoni Iraola, and Xavi Hernández .
