- After Another Hammering, INEOS Must Evaluate If Ruben Amorim Deserves To Stay at Manchester United Beyond This Season.
Another hammering at the hands of Newcastle for Manchester United in their worst-ever season in the Premier League top flight begs a lot of questions.
The most important question going into the summer and next season will be this: Has Ruben Amorim proven that Manchester United should invest in him and give him his own project at Old Trafford from next season onwards? Has the Portuguese shown enough personality, winning mentality, and tactical strength for the Manchester United hierarchy to trust in him for the future?
The Portuguese manager arrived at Manchester United late last year to help save the club’s season after the club sacked Erik ten Hag following a shambolic start to the season.
Since arriving at Old Trafford, Amorim has only had the chance to add Patrick Dorgu and youngster Ayden Heaven to his squad, and that has not aided much on-pitch improvements for his Manchester United side.
Ruben Amorim Stats At Manchester United
With their 4-1 loss away at St James’s Park, Manchester United have won just 12 matches out of the 32 the Portuguese manager has taken charge of. United have lost 11 and drawn 9. Only 6 of those wins have come in 21 Premier League matches.
These stats are damning, coupled with the fact that on-pitch action also has not suggested a strong change in playing style that will delight Manchester United fans.
Going into the summer, in order for Manchester United to avoid another distracting mid-season managerial change, Ruben Amorim needs to be evaluated, and the club needs to decide whether their future lies with the Portuguese manager or a new manager.
It’s a critical evaluation that will help the club shape their whole summer operation. The decision INEOS make on Amorim will affect the players Manchester United sell and also affect the decision-making when looking for new signings.
