Peter Schmeichel, who guarded the lions' goal between 1999 and 2000, cannot understand and criticizes the dismissal of Ruben Amorim, the Portuguese coach, at this stage of the season by the management of the red devils, a club he also represented.

“I can't understand”

“It was the wrong decision to dismiss Ruben Amorim at this time when you don't have another plan. I was really surprised, I didn't see that coming. I can't understand, I still can't understand the reason,” he questioned, in statements to viaplay.

The Dane, who represented the English club for almost the entire 1990s, argued that if the former lions' coach was to be dismissed, it should have happened earlier, not at the beginning of the year. “Why now? Why not in October, for example?

“It's not the ego that determines or decides who the coach is”

If Jason Wilcox feels insulted, it's not his ego that determines or decides who the coach is. Putting the club in this situation again makes no sense,” he harshly criticized the club's management, which decided to appoint Darren Fletcher as interim coach.

While at the service of the Old Trafford emblem, Ruben Amorim led the team in 63 official matches, achieving 25 wins, 15 draws, and 23 losses. The inconsistency of results and constant pressure eventually led to the dismissal of the former Sporting coach on January 5.
