Reports don show say Manchester United top board members hold secret meetings with Thomas Tuchel and Roberto De Zerbi before dem finally give the managerial job to Ruben Amorim.
After the 2-2 draw against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, many United fans begin complain again about Amorim tactics. Even though e never spend up to one full year for Old Trafford, the pressure don dey pile up after the Red Devils finish 15th for Premier League last season — their worst finish in history.
When Amorim first land from Sporting Lisbon, plenty people believe say e go bring new system wey fit work for England football. But one year later, the fanbase don divide — some wan make the board give am more time, while others believe say him time don already pass.
According to The Athletic, before Erik ten Hag even lose him job, United hierarchy don already talk to Tuchel (wey later coach England) and De Zerbi (wey now dey Marseille). This one show say Amorim no even be their first choice from beginning.
Did Manchester United Make the Right Choice With Ruben Amorim?
Under Amorim, United record last season na pure disaster — worst-ever finish and lowest points total (42) in Premier League history. This season too, things never change much. Out of 10 league games, dem don drop points for five already.
Players like Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro don dey struggle badly inside midfield. Amorim even move Bruno go defensive role inside double pivot — move wey fans call “mad experiment.”
The way he dey handle young talents sef don raise eyebrows. Kobbie Mainoo no dey get game time, and Leny Yoro no start against big teams like Chelsea, Brentford or Liverpool. To many observers, Amorim still never prove say e fit rebuild or take the club reach top level again.
Why Manchester United Future Still Bright
Even though plenty fans dey doubt Amorim survival, hope still dey for Old Trafford future. Under Erik ten Hag, United players no too get physical or technical balance. But since Amorim era start, dem don sign players wey fit give any next coach solid base to build on.
Names like Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko don give the attack better options and speed. For back, Senne Lammens replacement for Andre Onana don bring calmness to the defence, and Leny Yoro still get bright future ahead.
Midfield still need more reinforcement, but overall, e clear say United squad dey improve for quality. Any new coach wey enter fit easily get better results than Amorim if board act quick.
