BREAKING NEWS: Club owners delivers honest Verdict on Ruben Amorim Sack after latest board meeting held at London Carrington yesterday concerning the future of the Club – Big decision made already
Manchester United have no plans to sack Ruben Amorim after they were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham United in the Premier League on Thursday night.
The Portuguese head coach cut a frustrated figure after his side missed the opportunity to climb to fifth in the league table. Due to the congested nature of the Premier League at the moment, it is easy to sensationalise league standings, given that so much can change based on a single result.
United currently sit eighth in the table but are just two points off Chelsea in fourth and just three points ahead of Bournemouth in 14th. It means the mood could quickly change over the coming weeks, with United due to face bottom side Wolves on Monday night and face both Bournemouth and Aston Villa before Christmas.
Romano issues Amorim update
Manchester United retain faith in Ruben Amorim and are committed to give him time to turn his fortunes around at Old Trafford. The Portuguese head coach was set the target of a top-six finish at the start of the campaign and there is still confidence they will achieve that despite their recent results.
United have only lost one of their last eight matches in the Premier League but have failed to win either of their previous two home matches. These stats, combined with the tight league table, make it very easy to exaggerate a verdict either way. Amorim was named Premier League Manager of the Month in October but is now under fresh pressure after the dismal West Ham draw.
Amorim will hope to unite the fanbase after his substitutions were brought into question on Thursday night and will aim for another three points on Monday to ease the pressure on his position.
Writing in his latest GIVEMESPORT newsletter, transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano provided a brief update on Amorim’s future and reiterated that they have no plans to make a change anytime soon. “There are no movements at this stage. The club keeps supporting Amorim’s work at this point of the season,” he said.
