Manchester United's senior players reportedly expressing puzzlement towards Ruben Amorim, with Old Trafford players allegedly considering a mutiny.
Manchester United's Struggles Continue Under Amorim
Manchester United have endured a tough start to the season, currently languishing in the lower reaches of the Premier League table after four matches. The team's recent performance, which saw them comprehensively beaten by Manchester City at the weekend, has raised concerns among fans and players alike.
Ruben Amorim, the United manager, has come under scrutiny for his rigid 3-4-3 formation, which has not produced the desired results. The team's new attacking trio of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko have returned just one goal between them this term.
The report in the Daily Mirror claims that United have been too easy to play against for almost a year. Some players feel that Amorim is undermining them by repeatedly asking them to fit into a system they are not equipped to play. The identity of the dissenting players is not disclosed in the report, but it is known that the captain, Bruno Fernandes, is reportedly unhappy with Amorim's tactical setup.
The squad is reportedly confused by Amorim's unwillingness to change. Despite the concerns, Old Trafford sources have not indicated that Amorim's job is under threat. However, the potential for a dressing room mutiny is heightened due to senior squad members being dissatisfied with Amorim's setup.
Manchester United's transfer activity has been focused on the goalkeeper position, with Senne Lammens arriving late in the window as competition for Altay Bayindir for the No.1 spot. The club has spent over £200 million on fresh attacking talent during the summer transfer window, but aside from Lammens, the squad is largely the same as it was last year.
Amorim remains the second-favourite to be the next manager facing the sack, despite Old Trafford chiefs standing behind their man. The supporters have begun to call for change to avoid a repeat of last season's disappointing 15th-place finish. The dissatisfaction among the senior squad members is causing huge concern, with some players feeling that the team's struggles are a result of Amorim's inflexible approach.
Despite the challenges, Amorim has maintained his faith in his tactical setup. Only time will tell if he will be able to turn things around for Manchester United.
