Manchester United are once again wrapped in the shadow of uncertainty. The Red Devils were fighting for a place in the Champions League.
However, an explosive interview from Ruben Amorim after the game against Leeds United changed the trajectory of the club once again.
Amorim spoke to the media and criticized the board for their incompetence. Thus, his position had become untenable. So, unsurprisingly, the Portuguese got the sack the next day.
After that, INEOS decided to wait until the summer to appoint a new permanent head coach. Meanwhile, they searched for a caretaker who would take them until next summer.
So, they appointed Michael Carrick in that role. But having an interim boss at a club is a clear sign of uncertainty. And, many players would avoid signing for such clubs.
That is why this January will be tough for United. And they need to boost their midfield. Manuel Ugarte could leave in January.
So, the Red Devils will be short of options. That is why they might look for a loan deal for someone like Ruben Neves.
However, INEOS have always stated that they are looking at the long-term future of the club. That is why they are ready to sign players who could become the backbone of this team in the future.
Now, they have identified a player. However, his decision has left INEOS stunned. According to TEAMtalk, Manchester City have made contact to sign Elliot Anderson.
The Citizens have already beaten United this January with the signing of Antoine Semenyo. Similarly, Anderson reportedly prefers a move to Manchester City.
This decision from the England international has shocked the Red Devils. The blue side of Manchester is now more attractive to most players than the red side.
Unless INEOS bring stability back to Old Trafford, things will stay like that in the near future as well.
