🚨🚨 WHY MAN UNITED SACKED AMORIM (continuation)
Sir Jim Ratcliffe wanted Ruben Amorim to switch from his preferred back three to a back four, as did Jason Wilcox. The Glazer family had expressed disquiet at United’s results as long ago as August.
Amorim responded that the players needed to be changed. Wilcox said he wanted to work through the issues, evolving the squad over time but sticking with Amorim. Amorim reacted by saying he wished to leave United and would be calling his agent.
In their face-to-face meeting at Carrington on Friday, Jason Wilcox suggested to Ruben Amorim that the players were struggling to gain trust in his 3-4-2-1 system and had become confused over his vision.
This is the controversial part⬇️
“Amorim would train the team in a back four, only for a back three to be selected in games.” Why would you do that! Are you trying to sabotage the team or what?
They also sensed he lacked faith in them due to his selections and public statements
United were willing to back Amorim in January by willing to sign Semenyo, but the real disagreement came after that.
Amorim wanted the available money redirected toward signing a midfielder immediately. His view was simple: the system could not function properly without fixing midfield first.
But the recruitment structure at United now works collectively — Christopher Vivell, Jason Wilcox, and the manager all debate transfer decisions together.
Wilcox and Vivell believed there were no “best-in-class” midfield options available in January and didn’t want to panic buy another player the club could regret long-term. (Stating ugarte, Antony, Malacia etc as example).
The option in January was Conor Gallagher before moving to spurs! The management said NO! Because they believe we can get something better in the summer!
Their stance was: switch to a back four temporarily, stabilise the team, then attack the market properly in the summer.
That disagreement became one of the major breaking points between Amorim and the hierarchy.
