According to Fichajes, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is being considered by Manchester United as a possible successor to Ruben Amorim. Concerned about Amorim’s recent performance, the Red Devils may soon grow weary of him and have begun looking for potential replacements.
Under the Portuguese manager, United has fallen to 14th place in the Premier League, and they were eliminated from the FA Cup on Sunday after losing to Fulham on penalties. Amorim’s future may depend on United’s achievements in the upcoming weeks, according to Fichajes, who also calls Emery “an ideal candidate.”
In his first 16 Premier League games as United’s manager, Amorim has only managed five victories, indicating that he is having difficulty stabilizing the team. A source in Spain claims that Ineos’ patience with their recent appointment may “soon run out” because United is struggling to put on strong performances and is currently in the bottom half of the Premier League.
Unai Emery is interested in Manchester United job
The club’s management may take harsh measures and “speed up the search” for Amorim’s replacement if he is unable to “turn things around,” according to Fichajes. Leading Aston Villa to the Champions League for the first time since the competition’s rebranding in 1992, the Spanish manager has done an outstanding job at the club.
In January, Villa further bolstered their team by acquiring Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford, indicating their desire to contend at the top level. Furthermore, it is stated that he is “an ideal candidate” to lead a team the size of United due to his European background. He holds a record of winning the Europa League four times.
The former manager of Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, and Sevilla is rumored to be interested in managing United. Suggestions that Ineos is interested in Amorim’s possible replacements should be regarded with caution, though, as they have not yet shown any intention of splitting from him.
In addition, the financially constrained United have recently paid a significant sum of money to fire Ten Hag and sign Sporting CP’s Amorim. Because of this, Sir Jim Ratcliffe and company may not be able to make another significant managerial change, even if they are not entirely satisfied with the work of the current head coach.
