Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim finds himself walking a tightrope after suffering his second Premier League defeat of the season.
According to reliable Sully Talkz, Man United insider feels that Amorim has his “one foot out of the door” this season.
Internal figures believe that the manager could be sacked soon, given his refusal to change despite poor results.
The Portuguese coach holds a win rate of just 36%, an embarrassing statistic for any United manager.
That number plummets into the 20s when only Premier League fixtures are considered.
Since his arrival late last year, United have collected just 31 league points, the fewest of any side across both campaigns.
Amorim is an honest character, and he would admit the results have been nowhere near good enough.
The biggest red flag is his blind loyalty to a system riddled with flaws.
A top manager must have principles, but the very best also adapt to the challenges opponents present.
Fulham, Burnley, and most recently City have all exposed United by simply flooding runners through midfield.
His personnel calls are also coming under heavy fire.
Amorim has persisted with Bruno Fernandes in a midfield pivot, despite the captain’s tendency to lose his runner.
Removing your best player from his favoured position will not bring any success to the club.
His decision to bench Kobbie Mainoo and favour out-of-form Manuel Ugarte is also baffling.
The United ship has been sinking steadily for 11 months, and INEOS may be left with no choice but to pull the plug.
