Ruben Amorim is under pressure at Manchester United, and the Red Devils may be intrigued by the fact that a proven winner may be interested in succeeding him at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim responds to pressure surrounding his Man Utd position
The Red Devils lost to Grimsby Town in a penalty shootout throughout the week, which was one of their worst-ever outcomes for the football community.
Amorim’s team will have to deal with the shock of losing, even though they rallied from a 2-0 deficit. This will only put more pressure on the former Sporting manager, who expressed regret to the fans who traveled to Blundell Park.
He stated post-match: “I just want to say I’m really sorry to the fans. The support they give me, the support that they are always there, with all the defeats, with the team, today I have nothing to say apart from sorry.
“I think they gave the response on the pitch today. Now, we have a game in the weekend and then two weeks off. We will solve things out.”
According to sources, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner may be a candidate to take over at Manchester United should he be relieved of his responsibilities, and Old Trafford officials may soon make a choice regarding Amorim and won’t hesitate to pull the trigger.
Of course, some of the blame must fall on his failing team. Both Andre Onana and Manuel Ugarte were guilty of lying to Grimsby, but they were by no means the only ones.
In any case, if INEOS decide to end Amorim’s rule, a respectable manager might be amenable to an Old Trafford comeback.
Jose Mourinho is open to Man Utd return
FourFourTwo claims that Jose Mourinho, who left Fenerbahce after their loss from the Champions League playoff round against Benfica, may be amenable to a surprise return to Manchester United.
A number of Premier League clubs are exploring a managerial change, and the former Red Devils manager, who won the FA Cup, Europa League, and Community Shield at Old Trafford, is expected to return to the UK with his family.
If Amorim’s team continues to struggle to adjust to his 3-4-2-1 shape, Manchester United may be included in that conversation. Mourinho, on the other hand, favors a 4-2-3-1, which would be a more suitable tactical approach considering the players Manchester United has available.
Winning 11 trophies in total during spells at the Red Devils and Chelsea, Mourinho is a proven winner and would attract plenty of media attention, albeit some supporters may cite the fact that recent success within his managerial tenures has been short-lived.
