Ruben Amorim has \u201cdecided\u201d to \u201cdie on his sword\u201d at Manchester United and there is no road back for the head coach after his latest excuse\u2026<\/p>\n
Amorim <\/a>is quickly running out of time at Man Utd, with reports suggesting that he only has three games to save his job.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n He is the second favourite to be the next Premier League manager sacked<\/a>, and he could be gone as early as next week if his side suffers another one-sided defeat against a Big Six rival when they face Chelsea on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n There is a feeling of deja vu at Man Utd<\/a> as INEOS faces a repeat of the Erik ten Hag situation with Amorim, another manager on the exit ramp at the start of a season amid a severe lack of development after a dire campaign.<\/p>\n As usual, the pre-season optimism surrounding Man Utd has quickly evaporated following a few disappointing results, with their start to the 2025\/26 campaign showing no sign of progress despite a \u00a3230m spend on signings and the offloading of deadwood.<\/p>\n Amorim is still adopting a square pegs in round holes approach, with there being no real evidence of the head coach improving any of his squad in his failing 3-4-3 system.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Nothing will change at Manchester United unless they learn \u2018phenomenal\u2019 Arteta secret<\/a><\/p>\n Despite having two transfer windows to build his squad, Amorim\u2019s 3-4-3 formation remains ineffective in\u00a0both defence and attack,\u00a0with it obvious that a change to 4-3-2-1 is\u00a0<\/a>necessary\u00a0<\/a>to\u00a0get the more out of a struggling side.<\/p>\n So, it will be infuriating for Man Utd fans that Amorim once again insisted on Friday that he \u201cwill not change\u201d as he fears a U-turn could make his players \u201clook at him differently\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cNo, no, no,\u201d Amorim said when asked about changing his formation. \u201cNo one. Not even the Pope will change\u2026<\/p>\n \u201cThis is my job. This is my responsibility. This is my life. So, I will not change that.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cIf I\u2019m a player and I have a coach that, with a lot of pressure and [people] all around the world, are saying \u2018you need to change the system\u2019, says \u2018I\u2019m going to change\u2019, they will look at me in a different way.<\/p>\n \u201cEverything is important when you think about the impact that a decision is going to have on the team.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m doing things my way. I hope to have the time to change but it will be an evolution.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 So, as Alan Shearer predicted, Amorim is prepared to \u201cdie on his sword\u201d <\/a>at Man Utd and this will prove to be his undoing at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n Amorim is a head coach with a specialised system, but his bullish refusal to adapt at all will ensure that he will not \u201chave the time to change\u201d, because he is judged on wins and he cannot get away with being 14th in the Premier League for much longer.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
