Ex-Sporting on the move? Pundits say Amorim is doomed at Man United | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim is on the verge of leaving Manchester United. After the humiliating defeat against Grimsby Town from the English fourth division, many experts analyzed the future of the former Sporting coach with the Red Devils, as well as his demeanor on the bench and during the flash interview.

“It is not Amorim who has to find an answer. The minority owner, Jim Ratcliffe, the CEO, Omar Berrada, and the technical director, Jason Wilcox, are the ones who have to decide the future of Manchester United,” wrote BBC journalist Simon Stone.

“They were the ones who pushed for Rúben Amorim. Berrada was the man who flew to Portugal and told the coach 'it's now or never' when he asked to finish the season at Sporting,” he concluded. The demeanor of the Manchester United coach during and after the match was also analyzed.

“Ruben Amorim's body language resembled that of a doomed coach for much of the night. At one point, he seemed to be arguing with his assistant, Carlos Fernandes. Those sunny days in Chicago, during the pre-season tour last month, when Amorim was tanned and fresh, seem like a distant memory,” stated Samuel Luckhurst in the Manchester Evening.

Indeed, there is already talk of several successors for the former Sporting coach's position at Old Trafford, including Gareth Southgate, Michael Carrick, Oliver Glasner, Mauricio Pochettino, Kieran McKenna, Zinedine Zidane, Marco Silva, Andoni Iraola, and Xavi Hernández.
