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

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

"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 said to Coin Poker.

For Negredo, Neville would find a similar environment to what he 'inherited' at Mestalla: "Similar to what happened with Valencia at that time, it’s 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 have 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 willingness to improve," he assured, regarding the fact that Neville hasn't had more opportunities since then.

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