Pressure has mounted due to Ruben Amorim’s inability to motivate his Manchester United players, and the team’s humiliating loss to Brentford has forced the club’s management to make a decision.
Since taking over as manager of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim has experienced pressure before, but this time it feels different.
In his 49 games as United’s manager since November, Amorim has only won 18. His players still don’t seem to be getting any better at following his suggested formation as he nears the end of his first year in charge. Although Saturday’s 3-1 loss at Brentford wasn’t a low point—Grimsby would have to take that title—it was nonetheless significant.
United’s opponents outplayed them handily, and their manager didn’t seem to be able to stop it. After winning two of their six games, Amorim’s team is currently in 14th place in the Premier League, and owners Ineos are starting to lose patience.
With even the most optimistic assessment of the team failing to make any progress under the Portuguese manager, Amorim’s sacrifice is now entirely possible. However, who should Sir Jim Ratcliffe and company replace him if they decide to stop? Mirror Football authors have a voice.
