Manchester United have made their worst start to a Premier League season since 1992-93.

With just four points from their first four matches of the season, questions are being asked about Ruben Amorim’s future.

The Portuguese manager was given the backing from the owners of the club to spend money this summer.

Amorim strengthened his squad with the signings of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Diego Leon, Benjamin Sesko and Senne Lammens.

Although there are holes in their midfield but Amorim did not make a single signing in that position and perhaps that could be the reason why his team is struggling so much at the moment.

Man United were beaten convincingly by Man City

Their latest defeat came against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, and while the 3-0 score line is indeed embarrassing for United, the manner in which they were beaten is something that should worry the fans and the owners.

Former Premier League striker Charlie Austin has suggested that Zinedine Zidane is the right man for the job at Old Trafford.

Surprisingly, he also mentioned Sean Dyche, who was sacked by Everton earlier this year, as the manager who could provide stability to the struggling team.

“I think he’s got to go, if it’s my decision, I’m going after Zinedine Zidane,” he said, as reported by Express.

“Ultimately, there are a different set of managers that you’ve got to be looking at, because the situation Manchester United are in, I would take Zidane but is he the right man for the job and how we see them, probably not.

“In my honest opinion, you have to look at the job Sean Dyche did at Burnley, what he did at Everton. For me, he stabilised the club, at least he’s going to put structure in there.

“Zidane is the top of the tree for me, but what the club needs now is structure because that is something they do not have. I know Manchester United fans will look at me saying, ‘he said Sean Dyche’, no, they need structure [and] that is a man who will come in and make the team a lot better than what we are all seeing.”

It remains to be seen what the future holds for Amorim at Man United but with every passing week, his job is getting even more difficult.

His team has failed to produce results and the manager is not willing to change his philosophy.

Next week’s fixture against Chelsea at Old Trafford has become even more crucial for the Red Devils now and if they lose that match, Amorim could soon be heading out of the club.

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is another name that is being linked with the United job amid the uncertainty surrounding Amorim.

  1. The article provides a clear and insightful analysis of Manchester Uniteds current struggles, making me wonder if Zidane or Dyche are truly the right fits. The speculation around Ruben Amorims future adds an intriguing layer to the unfolding drama at Old Trafford.Sports

  2. If Ruben A still insist or do not want to change the formation of play of his choice which was found to be unsuccessfully with most players can’t adapt to it , so now if he is still stubborn with his formationof play , the the chnge is he should be replaced or sack.

  3. just sack him now , he is as stubborn as a mule with his failed back 3 system that make goalkeepers stupid yesterday man. city were made to look supernatural with that stupid Bach 3 system

  4. It was evident from day one that he was to fail to get the best out of the lads at the club! I did mentioned the likes of slot at Liverpool, who didn’t get to the market for prayers and transformed the club to the extent of winning the premier League! Manchester United has talented young prayers from the academy and it would be prudent to get them to senior team than selling and buying expensive ones who have even failed to give the best. A good manager doesn’t require any transfer season to transform a team, but to mend those areas which were shaky and move on other than wanting to offload everyone at the club. Let’s get xavi and the kids will pray with joy and we’ll be praying champions League next year.

  5. mainoo provided yesterday as a substitute what an class act he is , Amorim like Ten Hag will always pick their favourites first before FORM ( augarte and mount are his favourites no matter how bad they play) united must never sell our future superstar in Mainoo but rather Sack Amorim today and also get rid of both Sancho and Rashford who are Toxic,

  6. vrijeme je da se pogleda u oci, i pored svin htjenja Rubena Amorima da ostvari skoj system u Man.Una.,nejden,fudbaleri su kaos izgubljeni,srljaju po terenu bez cilja,odbrmbeni igraci djeluju kaos usporeni voz kraj kojih protivnicki igraci prolaze bez ikakvog opera.Katastrofa.Pod hitno promjene, ovako vise nemoze..

  7. he is clueless in almost every thing a manager should know. He has no idea where the teams weakness and strength is. He is unable to recognise talent. He knows only one formation and hides his ignorance by insisting he will not change his philosophy. All in all he is a fake. Just sack him.

    1. Totally right he is but a bluffer with a line for every defeat
      He must possess a book of excuses
      His stupid arrogance is just a cover for his total lack of football knowledge

  8. Ruben Amorim, please accept and charge your formation to 4-4-2 or you still wants to play 3 back system, it should rather be 3-5-2. for heaven sake please come down to reality. Thank you.

  9. manutd without midfielders will finish 12 15th
    so
    ugarte & Csemiro out
    Carlos baleba in & one strong midfield
    Amorim ??
    GIve him 3 games ,if he will not sccess
    sack him

  10. As most pf us. glueless fans. are saying that he never should have been hired. And our owners, the real glueless ones, are now stuck and have to spend again more money just to get rid of them. So hire from the inside and keep going this year. Hire a coach who is willing to have our own assistants as Carrrick so we raelly will not spend that much on a new coaching staff

    1. I’ve been a United fan for 75 years and I have never seen less passion from the players in all that time. I never minded losing as long as we’re beaten by a better side and every player gave his all. Sir Matt or Sir Alex would have seen through the likes of Pogba, Sancho, Garnacho, Rashford etc, who were toxic to the dressing room. I like Amorim as a person, but this isn’t Portugal. He needs to adapt for each game. He looks lost and clueless. We need a coach who can structure this team around a 442 or 443 system. at this rate we will finish in the bottom 10 again. The club needs to react now. We are in a sorry state. I would even put Michael Carrick in to steady the ship. Just saying.

  11. I think yesterday the manager made mistake because he should have played Mainoo instead of Ugarte Ma inoo is more fresh then Ugarte he was on international duty and he should have played Fernandes more on the left I’m sorry to say Sesko no good for his money he did not know were he was I watch Utd every week Utd must use pressing system Thanks

  12. I’m learning that shame and pride has levels and one needs to have high level of situational awareness.l. Ruben needs to accept and change or else weak or low profile manager will pick that team and uses 4.2.3.1 or 4.3.3 or 4.1.2.3 and win 70% , compared to his 26%. system is 50% problem at united, many players will die , making man united a graveyard of talent. saddening

  13. let Ruben accept that in casemiro u have a passer and a fighter , mainoo can give better result than ugarte, plus BF8 ur middle is safer play 3 up in sesko Bryan, matheus, remove Shaw from. team ans bring Harry back to guide the defence with yoro or deligt. or else , job is gone

  14. When will the so called United supporters understand that Rome wasn’t built in a day,United have been indecline for the best part of12 years. Amorin had a bang average group of players mostly who were happy to take the money and put 50% into a game. The club are slowly ridding themselves those who couldn’t hack it.Patience is a virtue Amorin will succeed
