Manchester United’s decision to appoint Ruben Amorim as manager has led to a mix of reactions, with some supporters questioning whether the club made an appalling mistake. Amorim, who took over a misfiring mid-table team, is facing criticism as United’s performances continue to slide, leaving them dangerously close to a relegation battle. Some argue that this situation mirrors Liverpool’s decision to sack Roy Hodgson after just six months, despite the manager’s initial optimism.
Critics claim that under Amorim, United’s results have been historically poor, and the squad is struggling under a formation that doesn’t suit them. Furthermore, the manager’s seemingly casual attitude and lack of passion have added to the frustration of fans. Many believe it could take several transfer windows to properly reshape the squad, but doubts remain about whether Amorim can keep the team afloat during this period.
On the other hand, some supporters argue that Manchester United should stick with Amorim, pointing out that many of the complaints voiced by fans—such as the need for a manager with a clear style of play, a long-term vision, and the ability to instill discipline—are being addressed. Despite Amorim’s struggles, they suggest that the club may have to endure some pain before seeing positive results. They point to the fact that United fans have often demanded a manager who is willing to make tough decisions and set high standards for players.
The debate continues as to whether United should cut ties with Amorim or allow him the time to implement his vision, despite the team’s current struggles. For some, the situation is reminiscent of previous managerial changes at the club, where the immediate relief from sacking managers has often been short-lived.
