Unbeaten PL boss eyed as potential Ruben Amorim replacement

The Austrian has established himself as a tactically astute Premier League coach, led Crystal Palace to an FA Cup triumph. The Red Devils are one of the legendary clubs in football history, and being appointed as the manager is a triumph for any coach. So, the 51-year-old might be looking at this as a perfect opportunity.

Should United stick or twist?

We have to admit that Amorim’s tenure as United manager has been dreadful, and the Portuguese can’t run away from the criticisms. Under him, the team has managed just eight wins across 31 league games, which is a shambolic stat for a club of the stature of United. Moreover, the 40-year-old has remained adamant and rigid on his 3-4-2-1 formation, which has certainly not worked, and the fans have the right to show frustration after all these developments. There should be an argument for his dismissal when you see the Premier League points table and the defeat to a side like Grimsby Town

Yet we cannot ignore the deeper issues. The decline started well before Amorim walked through the doors, and successive managers have battled with flawed recruitment and inconsistent leadership. He lost Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho in the summer, and rebuilding after those exits is no simple task. At least Amorim has publicly taken responsibility, something not all of his predecessors did. Moreover, reports confirm that Manchester United have registered an annual income of £666.5m, which can help them sign Carlos Baleba.

Glasner, on the other hand, has proven himself at Palace. He has formed a disciplined side capable of overachieving. His use of wing-backs and robust central defenders might even make United’s current shape function more effectively. That said, changing managers every season has become a damaging habit, and patience might prove more valuable than another reset. Crystal Palace are one of the two sides yet to be beaten in the Premier League this season, further cementing Glasner’s ability to get the most out of his resources.
