Amorim sack warning
Nicky Butt has warned Amorim calls for his head will start as early as NOVEMBER if the Red Devils aren’t performing.
He told BetMGM: “As for how much time Ruben Amorim gets, well, we know what it’s like. November or December, if United are 15th and not playing well, then the rumour mill starts. He’ll be under pressure.
“I certainly think give him two transfer windows after this one but then real progression is going to be needed from him too. I say ‘him’ because he is the leader but everything has to improve and move forward. If it’s standing still or going backwards, then he is in trouble.
“The top teams will be getting better. Liverpool have already spent £200 million, plus maybe another £150m more on Alexander Isak – they aren’t standing still.
“It will take time for United to catch them. City, Arsenal and Chelsea will all improve, too, so where does that leave United?
“People understand it will take time but we need to see improvement. If there isn’t any, then that’s when the pressure starts, that’s when the rumours kick in.”
