Ruben Amorim sack timeline prediction made as under-fire Man United boss faces questions
Ruben Amorim’s future will be decided by Manchester United’s expectations rather than his side’s progression. That is according to talkSPORT’s Danny Murphy, who does not expect the Portuguese to reach the end of his Red Devils deal. Murphy would be ‘surprised’ if Amorim reaches the end of his current United contractGetty Amorim remains under pressure in the Old Trafford hot seat after a difficult first 10 months in charge. Despite a hard-fought victory over Chelsea on Saturday, he has just nine league wins to his name since replacing Erik ten Hag in November. Murphy is doubtful the 2-1 win can inspire Amorim’s side to put a run of results together in the coming weeks. The former Liverpool midfielder told White & Jordan: “They haven’t shown any signs that they’re going to when they’ve had good performances or good wins before to then go on a run. They haven’t done it. “So no, I wouldn’t say you can trust them but there will be a lot of hope there especially now they’ve got players back fit like (Matheus) Cunha. “I find myself saying this bizarrely, knowing that there will be criticism of it, there’s actually been some positives for United to begin this season. “I’ve seen every game and that system has become less of a problem. It’s been more about the personnel within the system. “I thought the first game against Arsenal, they should have won and lost. “They battered Burnley for the majority of it, ended up throwing a goal or two away to make it hard work but he still won the first half at Fulham and they should have been a couple of goals up. “There’s been some good bits.
