The terrible record of Manchester United under Ruben Amorim has paused all fans. Winning nine out of 33 Premier League matches is simply not good enough for a club of the status of United.
The Portuguese tactician remains Hellbent in holding on to his defective system, which has not worked for almost a year now.
And after having spent so much money to form the team in the image coach’s image, Ineos also seem determined to stay the course for the time being.
Apart from the public support, Sir Jim Ratcliffe has other alternatives in mind, such as Andoni Iraola, Fabian Hurzeler and Oliver Glasner under the names that do the rounds.
Alternatives
A leading competition coach is what the co-owners are expected, should the ex-sporting CP boss be made superfluous.
And according to TBR FootballA familiar face can go back to Old Trafford, a name that has recently been managed in the English top flight as last season.
Kieran McKenna worked as the first team coach under both Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and was a hugely popular figure in the club.
When he was in the club, the Red Devils played an entertaining football brand, in which the team ended in the top four in two of the four seasons.
He eventually started his own manager adventure shortly after the Treble winner left, and has been leading the city of Ipswich since 2021.
Back-to-back promotions among him saw the tractor boys climb up from League One to the Premier League, and although their stay in the English top flight only lasted a season, they deserved praising reviews for their exciting style.
And Ineos remain his admirers and could look to bring him inside if they cannot attract the big names for now. And it would not be the worst choice.
Kieran McKenna on the club’s radar
“United supports Amorim as they have since the day he has arrived, let us not suggest in any way, but having said that, there is concern within the club’s hierarchy about the performances, how is there not?
“While the club is behind him and wants him to succeed in the long term, this is a result company. He has only won nine league games of 33-that is not good.
“Apart from that, United does their due diligence about options. Although it is not an active search at the moment – Gareth Southgate’s name is on their list, together with Oliver Glasner, Andoni Iraola, and they have always appreciated the work of Kieran McKenna.”
The former Academy coach knows the club inside and out, and his proven track record with young players would fit the agenda of Ineos with the T.
