Ruben Amorim will soon take charge at Manchester United and Stan Collymore has provided insight as to what areas Amorim must focus on in order to be successful from day one. With six managers having failed since Sir Alex Ferguson departed to secure consistent victories – even Erik Ten Hag was considered unsuitable in many respects as manager despite winning two trophies – Amorim steps into an important time period at United where success is in short supply and vital decisions need to be made quickly to bring them back on top of their former status.
Manchester United are currently 14th in the Premier League table with only three victories under Amorim’s leadership and sit just three wins ahead of Manchester City at present, who sit 12 points clear despite only nine matches played to date. This challenge can only become greater given Manchester City’s superior start – 12 points ahead at the top after just 9 matches!
