Ruben Amorim’s latest Man United statement proves just how out of his depth he is
Ruben Amorim has revealed what he has learned in his tenure at Man United, amid the Red Devils’ poor run of form.
Man United’s 3-1 defeat at Brentford leaves Amorim’s side 14th in the Premier League table with just seven points from six games.
Amorim was only able to lead Man United to a 15th placed finish last season, and the pressure is continuing to mount on the former Sporting boss.
Wayne Rooney has criticised Man United under Amorim, with his stubbornness to continuing utilising a back three formation a reason behind his struggles at the club.
Ruben Amorim makes admission on time at Man United
As per Fabrizio Romano on X, [1 October], Amorim has admitted that managing in England is “really hard.”
Amorim said: “It was really hard! It’s a completely different reality”.
“I played maybe 7-8 games against English teams in the UCL and UEL but to play this league is completely different.”
One of Amorim’s finest moments in the Champions League with Sporting was when the Portuguese club thrashed Man City 4-1, but he has only won nine out of his 33 Premier League games.

Man United considering options to replace Amorim
As exclusively revealed by Football Insider, Man United may replace Amorim with Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler.
Hurzeler is being considered by the Man United board after just one full season in the Premier League.
The German led Brighton to an eighth placed Premier League finish last campaign, with the Seagulls missing out on European football by just four points.
With the international break coming up, Man United may find it the ideal time to replace Amorim in the dugout.
History could repeat itself as Erik ten Hag was sacked during the October international break last year.
