His criticisms often reflect the opinions of fans, who support him in the stands at Old Trafford, recalling his time as team captain.
However, the situation at the club has worsened under Amorim's management, and Keane's criticism has become even more outspoken.
Since the appointment of the Portuguese coach last fall, the team has suffered 19 defeats.
Last season, United finished 15th in the Premier League.
In this season, the team has won only three out of seven starting matches, despite the absence of European football.
Despite the difficulties, United continues to spend significant sums, investing over 200 million pounds in a new attack, including Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko.
Amorim's tactical system (3-4-2-1) is not proving effective with existing players, yet the coach does not plan to make changes to his approach.
Diego Simeone's Candidacy
According to Keane, there is only one person capable of pulling United out of the crisis.
That is Diego Simeone, the Argentine coach of Atletico Madrid, who has been managing the team since 2011.

Keane would like to see Simeone as United's coach.
The Argentine has achieved 442 wins in 749 matches as a manager and has twice won the La Liga title, despite the strength of rivals Real and Barcelona.
He is also known for his fiery style of play.
Keane, also known for his resolute approach to football, believes Simeone is the perfect fit for the managerial role at United.
“I have been talking about this for many years, I would love to see Simeone with Atletico Madrid.”
“I think he would create chaos. Good chaos.”
“I would love to see his personality and his achievements.”
Keane believes that Simeone possesses the character and style of play that could be the key to Manchester United's success.
Thus, Roy Keane's position regarding a possible change of coach reflects deep concern about the state of the team. Many fans share his opinion, hoping for quick changes that could help the club get back on a winning path. If the club's management considers Keane's recommendations, it could be an important step in restoring Manchester United's ambitions.
