ESPN posted that they said Amorin is not a problem for Manchester United, he will only be the latest coach to be swallowed up by unrealistic expectations and bad decisions in the post-Ferguson era.
Amorin scored only 34 points in his first 33 Premier League games at Manchester United, but at least he could say he had expected it. After being identified as Tenhamhe's replacement, Amorin has made no secret of saying that he would wait until this summer to take over Manchester United. He is unwilling to take office in a hasty middle of the season, believing that taking office in November will only harm more than good. However, Sir Ratcliff and the board of directors had other plans, and they told Amorin that the opportunity should not be missed.
This move was once hailed as a preemptive move to bring Manchester United back to its peak, but nearly a year has passed, it has become more and more like a shortcut to failure, and as normal in such situations, the head coach will eventually become a victim.
The battle to visit Old Trafford on the weekend is Amorin's 50th game in various games, and the pressure before the game has exceeded the limit. Many Manchester United fans have long determined that even if they win, they will only delay the inevitable ending. For Amorin, this is undoubtedly a loss-making dilemma. If he wins, he may not win praise, because Manchester United should defeat the newly promoted team at home; if he loses or draws, it will add evidence to the fans who are determined to get him out of class.
Amorin was surprisingly calm and composed at a press conference after losing 1-3 to Brentford last weekend, but he knew that the opportunity to justify his coaching performance had completely passed. He could have pointed out that three missing penalty kicks cast a shadow on the start of the season, or emphasized that personal mistakes repeatedly disrupted tactical deployment.
But Amorin kept silent because he understood that the only focus of the debate at the moment was about his stay or not. Stay or be dismissed? Support or give up Amorin? The rest is irrelevant. It is worth noting that he admitted in the media room at Brentford's home court that he had no intention of "protecting himself" in the interview. Mourinho, one of Amorin's mentors, was accustomed to revolting in this situation, pointing his finger at all targets that unfortunately entered his range. Amorin chose a completely different approach, and even directed the focus back to himself rather than blame others, which was good for Ratcliffe, who had been at Manchester United for a longer time and had a much better decision-making mistake than the coach.
Amorin has every reason to emphasize that after being ordered to face danger last season, he had to strategically give up the Premier League in order to fight for the UEFA Cup. Otherwise, why did he send Taylor Frederickson, Armas and Obie Martin to start in the 3-4 loss to Brentford? Armas only made seven first-team appearances last season and has now been loaned to Sheffield Wednesday. Although Obie Martin has made 8 appearances, he is now back to the youth training camp rather than staying in the first team. The Brentford battle was just a few days before the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals defeated Athletic Bilbao, which was the only honor worth chasing at that time.
When people accuse Amorin of 17 Premier League defeats and 27.3% winning rate, these backgrounds are completely ignored. Although the data is bad, there are causes and effects behind it.
In private, Amorin may have other difficulties. His lineup is still being repaired after decision-making mistakes during the Tenghah period. Manchester United has made it clear that it cannot repair all positions in one summer window, but this has led to Amorin always lacking the all-round midfield required by the 3-4-3 system. The battle for the main goalkeeper is also undecided. Baindel, Ramens and Heaton are not ideal candidates. Even Amorin will admit that the current lineup should perform better, but no matter who is in charge of the headline, the ceiling of this group of players is already clearly visible.
However, all this is no longer important. Regardless of the player composition or the coach's choice, Manchester United must win every week, regardless of the opponent. And this is the core dilemma facing Amorin. The gap between expectations derived from the club's brilliant history and cruel reality is beyond the bottom. What drives Manchester United forward is the height they believe should reach, not the actual position.
Since Sir Ferguson's retirement for more than ten years, this separation has continuously given rise to the heavy pressure of success. The desire for victory and catching up with Manchester City and Liverpool has led to frequent mistakes on and off the court, and clumsy decisions and squandering signings emerge one after another. There is no time to tolerate limited blueprints and patience here, so you can keep cutting, changing, trying again, and praying for miracles.
And the one who has always been at the center of the storm is the previous coaches. From Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho, Solskjaer to Tenhach, Amorin is just the latest devoured sacrifice on Manchester United's journey back to the top. If he fails to defeat Sunderland on the weekend, he is destined to be ruthlessly despised like his exes.
