Negredo suggests a replacement for Ruben Amorim at Manchester United | OneFootball

Álvaro Negredo was coached by Gary Neville and says the former English full-back could replace Ruben Amorim at Manchester United

Álvaro Negredo believes that Gary Neville should succeed Ruben Amorim as the head coach of Manchester United. The former striker was managed by the Englishman at Valencia and believes that, despite the poor results in Spain, he deserves another opportunity.

"It also depends on the situation at Manchester United. I think he was a very important player for Manchester United. He is a player who gave a lot to English football," the former Spanish forward began by telling Coin Poker.

For Negredo, Neville would find a similar environment to what he 'inherited' at Mestalla: "Just like what happened with Valencia at that time, it could be a United team that hasn't consistently been at the top for a long time, and maybe now is not the best moment. But it's also true that changes happen when the team is not in a good moment. I would give him a chance because, as I said, as a coach, I liked him."

"Yes, it surprises me, because I considered him capable and qualified. Maybe in Spain, at that time, due to the language barrier, he didn't get more opportunities, but in the Premier League, based on my experience, I would have given him more. For me, he was a good coach who, as I said, had a very good attitude and a desire to improve," he assured, regarding the fact that Neville hasn't had more opportunities since then.

"He had been a player, so he also has knowledge of the football world. These are decisions that maybe he didn't want to keep experiencing and he didn't have the opportunity to continue coaching," Negredo concluded, defending someone who has been one of the biggest supporters of Ruben Amorim's departure.
