Ruben Amorim has been blamed for missing out on the Manchester United job after a run of poor results and an inflexible approach, with it claimed the club’s board were not the reason he did not take over at Old Trafford.
Amorim has been linked with a move to the Premier League after his work in Portugal, but the report says he only has himself to blame for the situation that developed around United’s managerial search.
According to what has been revealed, the Red Devils’ decision-makers were left unconvinced by Amorim’s unwillingness to move away from his preferred ideas, even as results dipped. The same information states that United’s hierarchy did not force him out of contention, but instead felt his stance and the team’s form counted against him at a key moment.
It is suggested Amorim’s dogmatic approach became a major issue when United assessed whether he could adapt to the demands of the Premier League and the expectations that come with leading one of the game’s biggest clubs.
The report adds that the talk of the board being responsible for Amorim not landing the job is wide of the mark, insisting it was the coach’s own actions and the results on the pitch that damaged his prospects.
Manchester United’s manager hunt has been watched closely throughout the season, with the club under pressure to find the right long-term fit. Amorim’s name has remained in the conversation, but the details revealed make clear why he did not end up in the Old Trafford dugout.
