"What he did at Sporting Lisbon was fantastic. But bringing a manager like that in with the system he plays I don't think ever suited a club like Manchester United with the traditions at Manchester United."
"We are just waiting for the inevitable, unfortunately, because you don't want people to lose their jobs. But this [Amorim's time in charge] has to end as quickly as possible."
"I have never been a big one for saying he has to change his system. A lot of managers speak and say the system might change but my style does not. His baby is his system,"
"This is on Omar Berrada [CEO] or Jason Wilcox [director of football ] or Jim Ratcliffe [shareholder]. They brought him in. They knew that when they brought him in."
Ruben Amorim was appointed Manchester United manager in November following a successful spell as Sporting CP head coach. He has collected 34 Premier League points in 33 matches, and his tenure has been described as a disaster that may best end quickly. His favoured 3-4-3 system has been linked to the team’s struggles and considered poorly suited to Manchester United’s traditions. Observers note that the club’s decision-makers — Omar Berrada, Jason Wilcox and Jim Ratcliffe — recruited a coach whose tactical identity was clear from the start. The mismatch between style and club expectations has damaged both manager and club.
