Gary Neville, a former defender for Manchester United, has blasted Ruben Amorim for making poor decisions.
Gary Neville claimed that the manager looked foolish when the Portuguese chose to start a well-known midfielder like Mason Mount at right-back.
Neville expressed his deep concern for the manager after Sporting CP’s loss to Brentford, believing the former manager may soon lose his position.
The Red Devils legend told NBC, “There is no point in me sitting here and saying I’m not worried. I am very worried.”
“The levels of performance, the results and the substitutions [against Brentford]. I saw something at the end of the Grimsby game that they lost in the Carabao Cup a couple of weeks ago which was Mason Mount ending up at left wing-back
“We admire managers who are stubborn and resilient around their system, we want them to stick to their plan, but when you have Mason Mount playing at left-back you are going to look pretty stupid.
“It has happened twice now and it can’t happen. The first time I thought it was unforgivable and yesterday it happened again.
“He changes his back three and his back five every single game and the performances and the results are just unacceptable.
“I’m really, really worried. I would never go on television as I know how difficult a manager’s job can be and say a manager should be sacked, but I suspect the hierarchy at Manchester United are going to want to see a turnaround.”
Although there are issues with the Portuguese football system, the 40-year-old has stated that he will not alter his style regardless of the result.
Since joining the team in November 2024, Amorim has not won a straight game and recently stated that he does not care about being fired.
After six games, Manchester United is now in 14th place in the league table, having ended 15th the previous season.
