England international defends Ruben Amorim: It just didn’t work at United | OneFootball

, captain of Manchester United and one of the leaders of the England national team, recently came out in defense of Ruben Amorim. The experienced centre-back admitted he "really likes" the former Sporting manager, praising the coach’s "excellent ideas", which ultimately did not work out during his spell with the Red Devils.

"I have nothing bad to say about Ruben. I really like him, I think he has excellent ideas. The ideas just didn’t work at Manchester United," he began, speaking ahead of the friendly between Uruguay and England.

Reinforcing that same view, Harry Maguire did not hesitate to wish the coach an "incredible career": "I believe he will continue to have an incredible career and, at his next club, he will probably win many, many games."

He was then asked why Manchester United failed to succeed under Ruben Amorim. "It simply didn’t ‘click’ or work out, and I think we, as players, also have to take a lot of responsibility for that. But I think he led the club in a direction — and I think he deserves a lot of credit for that — where he built a good, solid squad," he stressed.
