Manchester United news as Richard Keys lays into Ruben Amorim after his difficult start to life in the Premier League
Richard Keys has claimed that Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim ‘doesn’t want to be at the club’ despite only joining four months ago from Sporting CP.
Amorim has managed 21 games since replacing Erik ten Hag in the middle of November. He has won 10 and lost nine but has managed just four Premier League victories to leave United 15th in the table.
The Red Devils are on course to suffer their worst-ever finish with them currently 10 points adrift of eighth, their lowest league standing to date. Time is expected to be given to Amorim following the club’s decision to sack Ten Hag mid-season.
However, Keys has laid into the United boss and the “sad” situation the club find themselves in after once being the best team in England. The former Sky Sports presenter’s comments come after Gary Neville labelled Amorim’s tactics “embarrassing” after the defeat to Tottenham.
Writing in his blog, Keys said: “I hate to keep writing about it. I genuinely want to see United back at the top table of English football, but they’re light years from re-joining the best. Light years and a £1b spend on the team.
“They’ve got a manager who clearly doesn’t want to be there – a cycling expert in charge of football matters (who should never have been allowed back into pro sport after his time in charge of Team Sky) and an owner flailing about without a clue what to do next – except sack more good people.
“It’s sad. It really is. But don’t say I didn’t warn you. How many times have I pointed out what happened at both Lausanne and Nice after Ratcliffe took controlling interests in those clubs?
“Every time I do my mates accuse me of hating United. Wrong. I hate what’s happening at United. And I don’t see it getting better anytime soon.”
