Paul Scholes names successor to Amorim at Manchester United.

Manchester United may change coaches

According to The Sun: Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes that preparations should be made for possible changes in the club's coaching staff if Ruben Amorim does not meet expectations.

The 40-year-old Portuguese has faced criticism for a poor start to the season. Although the pressure on him has slightly eased following a 2-0 victory over Sunderland, the demands to improve results remain extremely relevant.

The prospect of Amorim remaining head coach for an extended period looks doubtful. The club's management may be forced to make changes if the team's results do not improve.

In the event of a critical situation and the dismissal of Amorim, Scholes has already named a potential new coach – it is Eddie Howe, who currently manages Newcastle. He managed to turn the team from relegation strugglers into Champions League participants since his arrival in 2021.

Scholes said: “Eddie Howe, Eddie Howe. I'm not sure about his friend [Tindall], but definitely - it's him.”

Despite this, a smaller portion of Manchester United's owners, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, does not close the door on Amorim's return. He said the coach could be given up to two more years to prove his worth.

Ratcliffe, a 72-year-old businessman, also noted that the team under Amorim is experiencing difficult times, but the Glazer family does not plan to sack him.

Amorim has a contract until 2027 but has only won 19 out of 50 matches in charge, while the Red Devils have accumulated only 37 points from 34 league matches.

Ratcliffe said in a podcast: “He hasn't had the best season. Ruben needs to prove he's a great coach over three years. That's where I see him.”

The situation at Manchester United remains tense. Despite the victory over Sunderland, the Portuguese coach is facing serious challenges due to the team's results, which may lead to the need to reconsider his position. The club is monitoring the situation to determine the next steps.
