United Back Amorim After Brentford Loss
Amorim Faces Pressure After Brentford Defeat, But United Stand by Him
Manchester — A 3-1 defeat at Brentford on Saturday has put Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim under intense scrutiny. The loss marked his 17th defeat in just 33 games since taking charge of the Premier League club.
After six games this season, United find themselves 14th in the table, raising concerns among fans and pundits alike.
Despite the pressure, sources at Manchester Evening News report that the United board continues to back Amorim, with no immediate plans to replace him.
Still, speculation about potential successors continues to swirl. Names such as Gareth Southgate, Andoni Iraola, Oliver Glasner, and Fabian Hurzeler have all been mentioned as possible candidates to take over the Portuguese manager’s role.
Adding to the intrigue, football journalist Fabrizio Romano suggested that former Barcelona midfielder Xavi would welcome the chance to manage at Old Trafford. Romano reported that Xavi has been closely “studying” the Premier League and would take the job immediately if offered. He also noted that the absence of European football would not be a deterrent for Xavi, who has been out of work since leaving Barcelona after winning the La Liga title.
However, the Sub claims that Xavi has not yet received any approach from inside Manchester United.
Amid all the speculation, Amorim remains focused on his job and improving his team’s performance. “I am never concerned about my job – I am not that kind of guy,” he said following the Brentford defeat.
