Man Utd about to make decision on coach Ruben Amorim's future

(Dan Tri) - Man Utd are expected to make a decision on the future of coach Ruben Amorim after a meeting between the two sides next week.

On the morning of August 28, Man Utd suffered one of the most bitter defeats in history when they were eliminated from the English League Cup by the English fourth division team Grimsby Town after a thrilling penalty shootout 12-11. This defeat put coach Ruben Amorim in a difficult situation, the hot seat at Old Trafford was shaking violently.

However, according to the British press, the Man Utd board, including co-chairman Jim Ratcliffe and CEO Omar Berrada, still support Amorim. The 40-year-old is considered the "architect of the long-term project" after spending more than £200 million in the summer transfer window. He will continue to lead the team in the match against Burnley this weekend.

However, no possibility is ruled out for the Portuguese coach's future if Man Utd lose to Burnley. According to The Sun, coach Amorim will meet with the Red Devils' leadership next week to discuss the future. A "bad" decision could be made to ease the terrible pressure from public opinion.

Coach Amorim is facing increasing pressure. In addition to Man Utd's poor performance, the coach born in 1985 also caused disagreements with many of the club's stars such as Rashford, Antony, Sancho, Garnacho, Malacia. Throughout this summer, Man Utd had to struggle to find a way to solve the future of these high-class "wastes".

Rashford has gone on loan to Barcelona, ​​Garnacho is set to join Chelsea, while Antony could also leave Old Trafford for Real Betis.

Along with that, coach Amorim also has to face the goalkeeper problem. The two goalkeepers Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir have both made mistakes recently, in the context of the 17 million pound deal to recruit Senne Lammens from Antwerp is still not finalized.

Speaking after the match with Grimsby, the Portuguese strategist admitted: "Something has to change. Obviously, you can't change all 22 players. We need to look straight at the problem, focus on the next match, then we have time to decide the future."

With his future at Old Trafford uncertain, the Portuguese press has suggested that Amorim could find a way out by returning to Benfica, the club where he spent nine years as a player and won three Portuguese national championships. However, the fact that he once coached rival Sporting Lisbon leaves the possibility of a reunion open.

Currently, Man Utd is said to have begun to build a roadmap to re-evaluate Amorim's future. Names such as Michael Carrick, Sean Dyche or Oliver Glasner are considered as replacement candidates in case the Red Devils continue to decline.
