Ruben Amorim’s tenure as Manchester United head coach has been tumultuous.
Since taking over in November, United have struggled, sitting 13th in the Premier League with 29 points from 24 games. Amorim has faced seven league defeats in his first 13 matches, a stark contrast to his successful stint at Sporting Lisbon. Recent losses to Brighton and Crystal Palace have exacerbated tensions.
Richard Keys believes Amorim might already be considering an exit due to the toxic environment and poor results. Keys criticized Amorim’s tactics, such as playing Mainoo as a false nine despite having other forwards available. Amorim himself has expressed frustration, labeling his team “maybe the worst” in Manchester United’s history after a defeat.
Despite some optimism following recent wins, United remains far from their desired position. The pressure on Amorim continues to mount as he faces significant challenges in turning around the team’s performance.
