For all the occasional signs of improvement under Ruben Amorim, Manchester United’s results are simply not good enough for a club which has invested heavily in personnel, so far £232 million this season alone, and has all week to prepare a team for Premier League games. Amorim’s supporters point to decent performances. His critics point to dropped points.
Not being in Europe should allow Amorim more time to work on building the team but they remain a work in progress, in seventh place following two wins in eight and no clean sheets in 10. It’s poor for a club of United’s great history and expectation. Unless they progress into the Champions League, and there are likely to be five places, Amorim should leave in the summer.
