Six Compelling Reasons Why Manchester United Should Part Ways with Ruben Amorim Amid a Reign Marked by Errors and Mismanagement
Following Manchester United's recent defeat at Brentford, Ruben Amorim's tenure at Old Trafford appears to be on shaky ground. With a string of poor results and mounting pressure from fans and pundits, the calls for his dismissal are growing louder. Here are six key reasons why it might be time for United to make a change.
Ruben Amorim claimed after Manchester United's defeat at Brentford that he is never worried about losing his job and that is just as well because, sooner or later, he is going to get his marching orders at Old Trafford. The results speak for themselves. His team have lost 17 of their 33 Premier League matches while winning just nine times. If you want to find a United coach with a worse win percentage in the league, you have to go back to before the Second World War.While United's fan base is far more supportive of coaches than at most other top clubs, patience with Amorim is running thin. After the limp surrender at the Gtech Stadium, social media was awash with calls for the Portuguese to be sacked. The pundit class were also baffled as to how the Portuguese could continue to struggle on with results as bad as they are."You look at it and he only has a win percentage of one per cent more than Graham Potter, who has been sacked. How is he still in the job?" asked Martin Keown on the BBC. "We can talk about the owners backing him, but ultimately it's just not working," said Micah Richards. "I don't see where Manchester United go with this unless they change manager," added Ashley Williams.They are not the only ones. GOAL lays out six reasons why United need to end the Amorim experiment right now...
1. Poor Win Percentage
Amorim's record of winning just nine out of 33 Premier League matches is cause for concern. With a win percentage that is only marginally better than Graham Potter, who was recently sacked, it's clear that results under Amorim have been far below expectations.
2. Lack of Progress
Despite ample time and resources, Amorim has failed to show significant improvement in the team's performance. The lackluster displays on the field demonstrate a stagnation that does not bode well for the team's future.
3. Fan Dissatisfaction
United supporters, known for their loyalty and patience, are growing increasingly disillusioned with Amorim's leadership. Calls for his sacking have become more vocal, reflecting a widespread sentiment of discontent among the fan base.
4. Pundit Criticism
Experts in the football community, such as Martin Keown and Micah Richards, have openly questioned Amorim's suitability for the job. The glaring discrepancies between his performance and expectations have drawn sharp criticism from pundits and analysts alike.
5. Unclear Path Forward
With the team struggling under Amorim's guidance, the prospects for improvement seem dim. The lack of a clear strategy or direction under his leadership has raised doubts about his ability to steer United back to success.
6. Need for Change
Ultimately, the prevailing sentiment is that a fresh start is necessary for United to break free from the current malaise. The decision to part ways with Amorim may be the catalyst needed to revitalize the team and restore its competitive edge in the league.
