"Manchester United are said to be considering Ruben Amorim replacements, with a former Barcelona star high on the agenda. It follows a difficult start to the season for the Red Devils boss, with just seven points accrued six games, including a recent 3-1 loss to Brentford. United finished in 15th place last season, but the pressure was not too intense on Amorim at that stage, having only joined partway through the season."

Since bowing out of the Carabao Cup against Grimsby Town, with a strong XI fielded, questions over his suitability for the job have grown louder with each negative result.
