U17 Vietnam calls up players playing in the Netherlands; MU chooses impressive coach to replace Ruben Amorim

MU chooses an impressive coach to replace Ruben Amorim

Fichajes reported that Unai Emery is the strong name that MU leaders have put on the list to replace Ruben Amorim, once they decide to part ways with the Portuguese coach.

Unai Emery is having a great time at Aston Villa, taking the team straight to the Champions League knockout stages, recently making Chelsea 'feel regret' in the Premier League, as well as forcing Liverpool to share points,...

The Spanish coach is considered one of the best coaches in the world, having won the Europa League with Sevilla in the past.

According to the above source, MU leaders really do not like Ruben Amorim's way of working. If in the coming weeks, the team's performance on the field does not go in a positive direction, there will likely be a change in the "hot seat" at Old Trafford at the end of the season.

Some say that Ruben Amorim needs more time and the summer transfer window of 2025 to turn things around, after arriving at MU in the middle of the season with so many difficulties surrounding him.

MU are still competing in the Europa League and FA Cup round of 16, but their form in the Premier League - currently ranked 14th - is a major concern for the club's leadership. Since replacing Erik ten Hag, Ruben Amorim has not improved the performance of MU's stars, but has instead declined. He has lost 9 of 23 matches in charge of MU, in all competitions.
