Amorim’s friend still hopeful for ex-Sporting man: he just needs time | OneFootball

Evandro Roncatto still has hope in Ruben Amorim's situation at Manchester United. After leaving Sporting, his former teammate's journey with the Red Devils hasn't been easy, and many of the club's fans in the North of England want the dismissal of the Portuguese coach.

“Ruben's future will heavily depend on the next game, and we must not forget that United's schedule has been a tough one. He needs to be given time, at least until January. If things continue to go poorly, then a change would be justified,” stated the current sporting director of Oliveira do Hospital to the newspaper Record.

Following this, Evandro Roncatto mentioned that this is the first time in Ruben Amorim's career as a coach that he has faced such criticism: “As a coach, this is the first time he is experiencing this situation. In Portugal, he succeeded at every club he was part of. Ruben Amorim is an intelligent guy, he knows what he's doing, and he will certainly work to fix what's wrong, ensuring things improve.”

In conclusion, the sporting director of Oliveira do Hospital highlighted a fact he considers essential for the challenging work of the former Sporting coach at Manchester United: “It should be noted that, in the first six months, Ruben Amorim had to work with players he did not choose.”

The former player hopes a new opportunity will be granted to his friend: “Many of those players remained in the squad because he couldn't simply clean out the locker room. We're talking about players with million-dollar contracts... Honestly, I hope he is given time to change this scenario,” concluded Evandro Roncatto.
