After a new defeat this weekend, this time against Brentford, by 3-1, Ruben Amorim and Manchester United's problems continue to be one of the main topics of conversation in England. Gary Neville showed himself to be "worried" and blames the stubbornness of the former Sporting coach.
Gary Neville: "I'm very worried"
"I'm very worried, there's no point in saying I'm not", began the former defender, in statements to NBC Sports. "The level of performance, the results and the substitutions in yesterday's game [defeat with Brentford, by 3-1]... I saw something at the end of the game with Grimsby, which they lost a few weeks ago for the League Cup... Mason Mount ended up playing left back".
Next, Gary Neville continued to insist on Amorim's stubbornness: "We admire coaches who are stubborn and resilient in regards to their game system, we want them to stay true to their plan, but when you put Mason Mount to play left back, you're going to look very stupid. It's happened twice and it can't repeat. The first time was unforgivable and yesterday [the day before yesterday] it happened again. He changes the defenders every game and the performances and results are unacceptable".
"I'm very, very worried. I would never say on television that a coach should be fired, because I know how hard it is, but I suspect that the hierarchy of Manchester United must want to see a change", he concluded.
The team of Ruben Amorim has three losses and a draw in the league, with only two victories.
