Charlie Austin wants Manchester United to sack Ruben Amorim and replace him with Sean Dyche
The current situation of Manchester United is extremely tense. This start has been nothing short of a nightmare for Ruben Amorim. There was not a single win in three matches, and the defeat against League Two team Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup added fuel to the fire. Fans sitting in the stadium were shaking their heads in disappointment, while there were constant speculation in the media about the manager’s future.
Amorim himself has said that change is necessary, but there is no flexibility in his methods. The owners are currently supporting him, but past experiences show that if the results do not improve, the wait will not be long. The upcoming matches and international breaks can decide his fate.
Discussion on Sean Dyche
Meanwhile, a different opinion has come to the fore. Former striker Charlie Austin said that if it were in his hands, he would try to bring Zinedine Zidane. Zidane’s name is always big, but Austin believes that in the current situation, he does not seem to be the right option. After this, he took the name of Sean Dyche. Seeing his work at Burnley and Everton, Austin feels that United do not need a big name at this time, but a strong structure.
Charlie Austin wants Manchester United to sack Ruben Amorim and replace him with Sean Dyche.
Former Premier League striker Charlie Austin has given a left-field suggestion on who he believes should be considered as the next Manchester United manager as the pressure begins to pile on Ruben Amorim.
He said that Dyche is a coach who can play by keeping the players within limits and can bring discipline to the team. In Burnley, he kept the team stable despite limited resources and saved Everton from falling down in a difficult period. Austin said that last night we did not see any team, just saw the players playing here and there. According to him, Dyche can come and create the structure which is clearly lacking in United. Even though his name is not the brightest, Austin believes that he can make this team better. Meanwhile, Elche are eyeing 26-year-old Manchester United outcast; a loan deal is on the cards.
“If it’s my decision, I am going after Zinedine Zidane. I’m trying to convince him to come to Manchester United. Shouldn’t need doing, but at this moment in time, you do.”
“Ultimately, though, there is a different set of managers that you have got to be looking at because of the situation that United are in.”
“I would take Zidane, but is he the right man for the job at Manchester United [as we] speak at the moment and how we see them, probably not.”
“My honest opinion is that you have to look at the jobs that Sean Dyche has done at Burnley, what he did at Everton. He stabilised the club, at least he is going to put structure in there.”
“What Manchester United need right now is structure. That is something they do not have.”
“I know that Manchester United fans would look at me and say ‘oh, you said we need Sean Dyche’, but no, you need structure. That’s a man that will come in and make the team a lot better than what we are all seeing at the moment.”
“Last night we didn’t see a team. We see players just go out there and do what they want.”

Is Dyche the right choice?
Now the question is whether Sean Dyche can be the right face after Amorim. His experience and style show that he emphasises discipline, strict defence and direct play. His journey to the Premier League with Burnley and European qualification shows his potential. At Everton, Dyche saved the team from relegation in the 2022-23 season.
Yet, his methods often leave the team lacking in attacking play. United fans always expect attractive, attacking football, and that is where Dyche could be challenged. We think Dyche replacing Amorim would provide stability, but the question remains whether United will play the kind of football that is associated with Old Trafford. Structure is important, but Manchester United don’t just need defensive football; they need a team that win while maintaining their identity. So, it is a confusing decision!
