Nevertheless, you possibly can think about the co-owners’ religion will likely be dwindling with every poor consequence or efficiency; United left it till the seventh minute of damage time to beat newly-promoted Burnley through a spot-kick and solely scored in opposition to Chelsea after they had the additional man, finally conceding when each groups had been right down to 10 within the aftermath of Casemiro’s pink card.
Who may realistically succeed Amorim?
Something aside from a win in opposition to Sunderland this Saturday would solely heap extra strain on the shoulders of Amorim, who maintains he’ll stick by his carried out tactical shift regardless of whether or not it proves to be a hit or not.
In regard to the names being touted as potential replacements, the likes of Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth), Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace) and Gareth Southgate (free agent) have all been closely linked, while Brighton and Hove Albion’s Fabian Hurzeler is a lesser-likely choice.
His lack of expertise in top-flight soccer could deter Sir Jim Ratcliffe, particularly given he selected Amorim, 40, to switch Ten Hag, and is now being made to rue the choice.
