Ruben Amorim’s gray spell at Manchester United continues, after the Red Devils lost the Manchester derby to City 3-0 last Sunday, September 14. Jamie O'Hara, former Tottenham player, was attentive to the defeat and left strong criticism for the club and the Portuguese coach.

"I’ve never seen such a poor performance from a Manchester United team. It’s getting worse and worse. And you can’t tell me that this is suddenly going to change and that they’re going to improve," the former footballer began by saying in statements to Sky Sports.

Next, Jamie O'Hara criticized Amorim’s choices: "He was backed, he has players, and they continue to be terrible. The formation doesn’t work, they have no identity, the player has no confidence with the ball, nor without the ball. They don’t understand the system and can’t make it work."

Regarding the tactical system, the former Wolverhampton player also considers that the Portuguese coach insists too much on a formation that doesn’t work: "Ruben Amorim is so arrogant and so stuck in his ways of ‘this is how I’m going to play’. ‘This is my formation. This is how I want to play, 3-4-4. This is what we’re doing.’ Basically, he’s telling the team every week that this is how Manchester United will play, this is the performance they’re going to have."

Finally, Jamie O'Hara praised Bruno Fernandes and stated that he is being misused: "They’re overrun in midfield every week. Bruno Fernandes is one of the best creative midfielders in the world and they’re trying to make him play as a number six. He’s not a number 6, he’s a number 10, an attacking midfielder. They’re taking everything out of his game, honestly it’s painful to watch. They’re terrible."
