Growing divisions with the board and inconsistent results have spelled the end for Amorim, whose testy post-match press conference in Leeds was, as expected, the beginning of the end.
No club attracts as much interest as Manchester United, and the internet has been quick to react to Amorim’s departure.
Amorim stressed in the aftermath of the draw against Leeds that he came to Manchester United to be the ‘manager’ and not just the ‘head coach’. The results for this last role were certainly not up to standard…

Rubén Amorim abandoned all the key principles and pillars on which Manchester United identified themselves – playing with width, taking risks, prioritizing academy players – and delivered the club’s worst results in more than half a century.
