Amorim told he has ‘big problems’ at Man Utd as Roy Keane delivers scathing assessment of team’s abilities

Following Sunday’s lopsided 1-1 draw with Ipswich, Roy Keane brutally destroyed the current state of Manchester United and cautioned Ruben Amorim of the enormous task he faces in bringing the team back to its previous glory.

Although a new era may be beginning at Old Trafford, Amorim’s first game, in which he switched to a 3-4-3 system, barely went as planned. Despite getting off to a fantastic start, Marcus Rashford’s goal in the second minute put them in second place for long stretches of the game. However, Manchester United owed Andre Onana a debt of gratitude after Omari Hutchison equalized, as he made some excellent stops to keep the score from rising further.

With an xG of just 0.9 from the game and weaknesses throughout the team, Keane thinks Amorim has a huge assignment in rebuilding the team to compete with the top. That point was sufficient for the Red Devils to move up to 12th place in the rankings.

“He has serious issues,” Keane stated on Sky Sports.

“There was little danger in the second half, and it appeared as though Ipswich would win.” This season, they haven’t won at home. Although he has only been with Manchester United for a week, he has the same issues there.

“The threat moving forward is a major issue for Manchester United, but you have to give the man a chance.” It is insufficient.

“We saw the team’s structure, but the players and issues remain the same. We discuss leopards and spots: the second half’s lack of goals and poor quality. Ipswich appeared to be the superior squad.

He has had a tough week and has a lot to process because it’s his first game, but in the end, he will be let down. Right now, Manchester United is a mediocre Premier League team. The manager has a big job. I’m hoping he can resolve it.

After recent setbacks, the manager calls the Manchester United system “perfect” for the star, and Amorim is “in love” with Ten Hag’s signing.

As the new Manchester United manager acknowledges that the squad will “struggle,” Amorim “needs a longer contract.”
When the 39-year-old was first hired at Old Trafford, he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract that would last until the summer of 2027. However, Keane has already told the Portuguese that, given the magnitude of the work at hand, he may need much more time to turn the club around.

Keane stated, “He ought to have agreed to a longer contract.” “This team has a long way to go.”

“This Manchester United team is mediocre. Every statistic supports that. They are unpredictable; you can never be sure which team will show up. Bad.

“Boring” seems a little strong, but they don’t have much conviction. It is somewhat disheartening. It’s really flat. Getting back into the top four is a huge improvement for this club.

“Some people think they’re better than they actually are when you look at them. In every way, United is mediocre. They are not very noteworthy.

Speaking candidly to the Sky Sports cameras after the point at Portman Road, Amorim has swiftly come clean about the project in front of him.

He predicted that we will endure a protracted era of suffering. It will require a significant amount of time.

Although we are aware that patience will be required, we will make an effort to see results. It will take time to build the edifice. They performed well in the two training sessions we’ve conducted. The ones who don’t play will train while we play a lot of games.

“Our playing has to be better. The athletes are making a sincere effort. I understand that the fans are frustrated, but we’ll try.

Everyone can clearly see that Onana saved us at least twice. He performed a fantastic job and has a clear understanding.

Current Manchester United transfer news: top Amorim target mentioned; Giants “in contact” about Rashford deal
According to our correspondent Rudy Galetti, PSG has rekindled its interest in buying Marcus Rashford ahead of the January transfer window, and manager Luis Enrique is serious about his desire to recruit the 27-year-old. This might mean that Rashford could soon have a way out of Manchester United.

Rashford, one of United’s highest-paid players, is reportedly not entirely satisfied at Old Trafford, and INEOS will give serious attention to a good offer, even though Sunday’s goal will raise hopes of a comeback.

Rashford, who was formerly linked to United, is the player Enrique wants to replace the underperforming Goncalo Ramos.

In addition, the Red Devils may soon make a serious move for Joshua Zirkzee, as the Italian powerhouses have already drafted a plan of action on how to get the £36.5 million player out of Old Trafford a few months after he arrived from Bologna.

According to a story published over the weekend, Amorim, the new manager of United, has already told club executives about his ideal addition and the player he would most want to bring in to help turn around the team’s fortunes. A fierce transfer war with Manchester City is anticipated for the €70 million star, though.
