Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has had a busy few weeks since taking charge of the Red Devils. The Portuguese tactician started off well by going three games without a loss.

However, things turned sour with back-to-back losses against Arsenal and Nottingham Forest. While it may be natural to assume that Amorim wants his side to finish in a Champions League spot, the new boss wants much more!

Several fans on social media have reacted negatively to the same, with supporters claiming that Amorim is ‘delusional’. On the other hand, there are many who admire the manager’s determination and confidence. After the challenge in the UEL, United will take on struggling Manchester City before playing Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup.

With INEOS entrusting Amorim with a rebuild at the club, every move the Portuguese makes will be perceived with scrutiny. Amorim outlined certain necessities, such as profiling players and weighing them up against the players available at the club’s academy.

Amorim also stated that United has a ‘small’ squad in comparison to other clubs. He spoke a lot about ‘improving’ the players at his disposal.

We need time to teach our idea and then we will see. If you don’t win, the coach goes, the players go. We have to arrange a lot of things in our club before just buying and selling players.

As things stand, Manchester United is unbeaten and in 12th position in the Europa League. The club is in 13th place with 19 points in the English top flight.
