United Legends Question Amorim’s Tactics After Another Loss
Ruben Amorim faces another tough loss as Manchester United’s manager. This time, Tottenham, another struggling team, got the upper hand. With the season going downhill, even the club legends are starting to doubt his game plan. United has now played 12 matches this season, and it’s not looking good. United Legends Question Amorim.

A Tough Start for Amorim
United’s defeat against Tottenham means they’ve lost 12 league games this season. This is the second most losses in their Premier League history, and they still have 13 games left to play. It’s also the worst start since 1972-73. Amorim’s record is worse than Erik ten Hag’s during his last 14 matches.
Some fans still support Amorim since he took over mid-season and doesn’t have a squad that fits his style. But former player Michael Owen says it’s up to the manager to make the team work.
Owen Calls for a Change
You have to start asking questions, Owen said on Optus Sport’s Matchday Live. I like Amorim’s vision and confidence, but a manager needs to get the best from their players. He added it’s not just about the talent on the team but about getting them to perform. Right now, I don’t think he’s doing that, and that’s an issue. Owen thinks this situation will lead to debates among fans. Some want to give Amorim more time, pointing out his limited transfer options and the need to settle in. Others feel a good coach should get the most from the current squad before spending money.
Hoddle’s Take: Be Flexible
Former manager Glenn Hoddle believes great managers need to adapt. He thinks Amorim’s strict style may be hurting the players. Are you going to change your approach? Hoddle asked. The results show Amorim isn’t getting the best out of them. Fourteen points from 42 possible isn’t good enough. He suggests Amorim should rethink his game plan quickly to keep the players’ confidence up. They need confidence and can’t wait for next season, he said. It’s not just about the system; it’s about doing what’s needed right now.
Berbatov Warns Amorim
Dimitar Berbatov, another former United star, voiced concerns about Amorim’s future. He believes there’s an urgent need to start winning points, no matter the tactics. When will Amorim see the system isn’t working? Berbatov warned. If you keep losing points, you’ll get in serious trouble. The Bulgarian stressed that getting points is what matters most. It doesn’t matter how you win, just get the three points, he said. Berbatov’s comments highlight the growing pressure on Amorim to deliver results soon or risk putting United in a tough spot.
