BREAKING NEWS: Manchester United Legend Urges Club to Appoint a Proven Manager—Not Amorim!

A Manchester United icon has expressed concerns, advising the club not to take a risk on Rúben Amorim and instead hire a world-class, experienced manager for next season. With Erik ten Hag’s future uncertain, United must make the right call if they aim to reclaim their position at the top of both English and European football.

Although Amorim has done well at Sporting CP, leading them to a Primeira Liga title in 2020-21 and nurturing young talent, the truth is that he is not suited for a club of Manchester United’s caliber. Even Liverpool, a club known for its strategic managerial choices, moved on after initially considering Amorim as a possible successor to Jürgen Klopp. If Liverpool—one of United’s biggest rivals—saw potential issues with Amorim’s fit for the Premier League, why should United take the chance?

The message is straightforward: If Manchester United genuinely intends to compete at the highest level next season, they must aim high and hire a world-class coach with a proven record of success at the top tier. Three standout candidates are:

1. Carlo Ancelotti – One of the finest managers in football history, Ancelotti has captured league titles across Italy, England, Germany, France, and Spain. His expertise in managing big personalities and his tactical adaptability make him an ideal candidate for Old Trafford.

2. Zinedine Zidane – A three-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, Zidane has the experience and credentials to manage the pressures at United. His ability to earn respect from top-tier players could be vital in turning the club’s fortunes around.

3. Eddie Howe – Though not as decorated as Ancelotti or Zidane, Howe has turned Newcastle United into a formidable force in England. His tactical skills and ability to build a strong team identity could be exactly what United requires.
