Manchester United’s Problems: Why Amorim’s Way Isn’t Working
Manchester United is in a tough spot, sitting 15th in the Premier League after losing to Tottenham. Ruben Amorim sticks to his game plan, but it’s not helping the team. Some worry that if things don’t change, United might fall into a relegation fight. Football journalist Darren Lewis thinks Amorim needs to adapt or it could be bad news for the team. Why Amorim’s Approach Is Not Working.

Losing Streak Continues
United lost 1-0 to Tottenham, putting them just 10 points above 17th place. On The Kelly and Wrighty Show, Lewis criticized Amorim’s approach, calling it “the definition of insanity.” He pointed out that while Amorim communicates well, trying to force his system on the players makes the team weak. At home, they’ve lost six of their last seven matches, which is pretty alarming.
Flexibility Is Important
Lewis stressed the need for change. He noted that United’s performances haven’t been convincing, either at home or away. If teams like Wolves see this weakness, United could be in real trouble. “If they keep losing, where will the wins come from?” Lewis asked, citing their weak performance even against a struggling Leicester.
Disappointing Results So Far
Since taking over from Erik ten Hag in late November, Amorim has only won four out of 14 Premier League games. While he blames a lack of time and the wrong players, Lewis wonders how long this can go on. “Sometimes, when it’s not working, it’s just not working,” he said. United can’t afford to waste this season, even if they do okay in the Europa League.
Quick Changes Can Happen
Lewis mentioned managers like David Moyes at Everton and Ruud van Nistelrooy at United. They both quickly improved their teams. Moyes got his team winning in just five games. Lewis believes a good coach can make a difference right away, even without perfect players.
Money Problems Ahead
Another concern is United’s finances. Lewis pointed out that thinking they can just spend big next summer is unrealistic. With their poor league performance and possible absence from Europe, that idea doesn’t add up. That kind of thinking could hurt them; they can’t be too confident about recovering without facing serious issues.
Is Amorim Running Out of Time?
Lewis worries that Amorim’s stubbornness might really hurt United. With the team struggling and money issues, they are in danger. “There’s a bit of arrogance in thinking they’ll be fine just because they’re Manchester United, but the situation is serious,” he summed up.
