It is fair to say that Ruben Amorim’s role as the Manchester United boss is in a precarious position. After losing to Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup second round, his sacking looks inevitable.
That is why so many names are getting thrown around as his replacement. The next game against Burnley will be the key to understanding when he might get the sack.
Manchester United have set a timeline to make a decision about Ruben Amorim’s future. But this game against Burnley will be crucial for the fate of the current manager.
It is difficult to see Ruben Amorim continue as the Manchester United manager after what he has done. Just 7 wins in 29 league games is not good enough to keep his place as United’s manager.
Earlier, Transfer News Live has reported that Oliver Glasner and Andoni Iraola as the two probable candidates who can replace Ruben Amorim at Manchester United.
However, there is another name in the mix that will send a shockwave around the world. A recent interview from a former Manchester United manager is getting circulated on the internet.
In that interview, Jose Mourinho made some remarks which have made most people think that he could be in line to take over the job as the Manchester United boss once again.
Mourinho has been sacked as the manager of the Turkish club Fenerbahce. So, the Special One is available. It will be interesting to see whether United consider him as Amorim’s replacement.
“If any clubs in England from the bottom of the table needs a coach in two years, I’m ready to go.” 🤩
