Manchester United reportedly is at a delicate period of internal evaluation as concerns are growing over the future of Ruben Amorim at the club.
According to ESPN, club executives have already held modest but meaningful consultations with senior players to measure the Portuguese manager’s tenure and opinions on recent performance.
Meanwhile, the club hierarchy is understood to be approaching a decision on whether to stand up to Amorim or start a management change.
The situation unfolds suggests that the coming weeks will be important in determining United’s season direction.
Man United officials will hold meetings with players
It tells the fact that United Chiefs feel they need to consult with key squad members. It shows both an awareness of anxiety and a desire to measure whether support for Amorim in the locker room remains intact.
Potentially serving as captains, potential advanced players have been asked about morale, confidence in tactics, and internal communication.
That’s hardly a surprise given how United played this season and struggled to play under Amorim. The Portuguese manager is stubborn to modify his tactics to suit the demands of British football and consistently expresses his confidence in his philosophy.
CEO Omar Berada and director of football Jason Wilcox discussed with club players, including club captain Bruno Fernandez, to learn how he felt about the manager.
Reuben Amorim is supported by his team
After consulting with the players and team, the executives believe the team is behind Amorim, and they believe in his project and his ideas.
It needs to be translated to pitch now. United have been defeated in the league this season against Arsenal, Manchester City and Brentford, and shock excha from the Carabao Cup at the hands of League 2 side Grimsbytown has broken fan base confidence.
What’s good for Amorim is that he’s supporting players despite not making any major improvements with the club, but it all depends on the team’s results in the coming weeks and his position in the Premier League.
If Amorim is shown the club’s exit door, Zabi Hernandez is waiting to do his job.
