Manwan: If decisive measures are not taken against Amorin, Manchester United really will start relegation
After 6 rounds of the Premier League, the Red Devils only achieved 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. Manchester Evening News said that if the current Red Devils executives have not formulated Amorin's succession plan, they are escaping reality and are irresponsible to the club.
In short, this gambling against Amorin has completely failed, and it is time to accept this embarrassing fact, end this unfortunate collaboration and appoint a new manager who can lead the team out of the crisis.
Amorin only won 9 games in 33 Premier League games and scored 34 points (out of 99 points), which is really unsatisfactory. The 1-3 defeat at Brentford last round shows that the situation has not improved. Last season, Tenghach was fired after losing four of nine games, while Amorin is heading for the same ending.
Amorin has coached the Red Devils for nearly a year and has not yet won a league victory. Moyes did this in his short and unsuccessful term. The team's performance seems to have declined after 40-year-old Portuguese coach Amorin led Manchester United.
players began to lose confidence in Amorin and his tactics, especially his insistence on the controversial 343 formation. Obviously, his players don't match this system, and it's hard for them to adapt to it. Amorin also insisted on letting captain B Fei play the role of dragging the back midfield instead of letting him play in a higher offensive position, which is tantamount to destroying the Great Wall. So far this season, the Manchester United core has only scored one sports goal.
After the end of last season, Manchester United failed to qualify for the European competition - this is the second time the team has encountered this situation in 35 years. And Amorin sees it as a blessing in disguise, believing that it will provide him and his team with more time to run in tactics and ideas with the players.
The poor start of the season completely broke all the good ideas of Manchester United. Despite full pre-season training under the leadership of Amorin and investing £236 million to introduce new players, the team's performance was not as strong as expected.
Currently, Manchester United is only ranked 14th in the league, one lower than last season's ranking, with a goal difference of -4. In addition, they were eliminated by the League Two team Greensby in the League Cup, which not only reduced the chances of playing, but also lost a way to compete for the trophy.
Amorin faced more than just a loss, even those two wins seemed not convincing enough. Against Burnley, they were supposed to lock in the victory before the end of the half, but were tied twice by their opponents. They finally narrowly won 3-2 with a 97-minute penalty. The same is true for the game against Chelsea. After Casemiro was sent off with a 2-0 lead, Manchester United barely won 2-1.
Amorin's charisma and candidness are indeed refreshing, but it cannot hide the obvious regression of the team during his tenure. Manchester United are eager to turn things around, especially CEO Berrada, who personally promoted Amorin's appointment while betting on the coach.
However, the facts are already so obvious that it is wise to admit that this is a mistake and act quickly to correct it. Manchester United once took decisive measures against former sports director Ashworth, firing him just five months after he took office. Now they have to do the same thing with Amorin so as not to deepen the crisis further and lead to the team in a relegation battle, which is really possible under the current circumstances.
