Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is under a lot of pressure right now and there have been speculations about his future.
Ruben Amorim could be shown the door if the results do not improve drastically. However, a report from TEAMtalk has claimed that the Portuguese tactician is safe for now, but the club hierarchy will be keeping tabs on the performances and the results, the two key conditions to his future. It will be interesting to see if he can turn things around in the coming weeks.
Manchester United are currently tenth in the Premier League table. A club of their stature should be competing towards the top end of the table and fighting for trophies. It will be interesting to see if they can improve. Ruben Amorim has been backed significantly in the transfer market, and Manchester United have signed quality players.
However, they have not been able to extract the best out of their assets. It remains to be seen whether the Portuguese manager can get the best out of his players and get them to perform at a higher level. Manchester United finished in the bottom half of the Premier League table last season and for a club of their stature, it is simply unacceptable.
Manchester United need to bounce back
Manchester United need to get back into the UEFA Champions League, and they need to finish in the top four of the Premier League. The Red Devils have already crashed out of the EFL Cup, and they do not have European football this season.
They will have plenty of opportunities to rest their key players and deal with a lighter set of fixtures compared to their rivals. Missing out on a top-four finish this season would be devastating for the club, and Amorim will certainly be expected to deliver.
If the Portuguese manager cannot turn things around by the winter transfer window, it would be ideal for Manchester United to make a change. They have been linked with multiple managers, including Unai Emery, in recent weeks, and it remains to be seen who they end up with. For now, the Portuguese manager will be desperate to hold onto his job and it remains to be seen whether he can help his team bounce back.
