Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim is preparing to take charge of Manchester United.
The Sporting manager has signed a new three year deal with the Red Devils and he is set to replace Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.
The Dutch manager was sacked after Man United’s defeat against West Ham United in the Premier League.
Speculation surrounding the job of Ten Hag was just not ending and with his team being unable to produce results on the pitch, his life at Old Trafford became more difficult with every passing week.
The dust has now settled and Amorim is the new manager of the Premier League giants.
“Woeful” Manchester United player “does not resemble a footballer” – which Red Devils misfit has been the subject of this BRUTAL put-down?
However, there is a worrying sign that should be a cause of concern for the Man United faithful.
According to The Athletic, the speculation about his job and the constant rumours of a move to Man United earlier had taken a toll on the manager, who told his friends that he is feeling exhausted.
His friends were concerned about him and questioned whether the young manager is ready for the new job and not only any other job but one of the most difficult jobs in football.
The Man United job requires character and personality from a manager and Amorim still has a long way to go in his management career.
The likes of David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik ten Hag have all failed to impress at the club since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Ruben Amorim should get ready for a tough ride at Man United
Ten Hag can easily tell Amorim about the scrutiny of being a Man United manager and how every little move that you make will be questioned and discussed in the media by pundits and ex-players.
If Amorim is already feeling exhausted before taking the job, then he has a lot to learn and he is definitely up for a big surprise when he actually starts working at the club.
The new Man United boss is linked with a move for Sporting striker Viktor Gyokeres while Napoli’s in-form star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is another name being mentioned as Amorim’s potential signing.
English foot ball is too mechanical, Ruben will continue to struggle for some time, don’t expect quick results, the only mistake manchester united did, was to sack one of the best top world managers Louse van gal, we shall still continue to suffer b,se we are too demanding, we are too impatient , English media talks too much and this puts tension on both players and managers or head coaches.
Give Ruben Amorim time to ascend the manager’s seat and see how he settles in.
Let him get familiarised with the environment of Old Trafford and how he does, before writing him off.
Never judge him with Erik ten Hag’s yardstick as they are different beasts.
I think it is a worrying story because I thought he looked very uncomfortable in the last press conference when constantly asked about the United role. As the article alludes to this is just the tip of the iceberg and things will really heat up( from the English media) when he actually takes the role. He has done exceptionally well with Sporting CP and there’s no doubt he’s one of the best new coaches around but the EPL is a different beast and very unforgiving and the fact that he is starting mid season means that he will have to hit the ground running with very little time to adjust. Couple that with him probably having little budget for new signings in January( because United have already spent £180k this season already) and it makes the task even more monumental. I wish him luck 🤞🏽
If players could fit in his formation or playing style of 3-4-3 then it will be a success.
