This season, Man United fired coach Erik Ten Hag. They then appointed coach Ruben Amorim, who made a bit of an impression at Sporting Lisbon.
However, things did not get any better for the Portuguese coach. After the first 10 matches with Man United, Amorim lost 5, drew 1 and won 4. This result caused the Red Devils to fall to 14th in the Premier League, a position no better than when coach Ten Hag was in charge.
Coach Ruben Amorim admitted that he could be fired by Man United if he continues to play poorly. Former Man United player Ben Foster also believes in this possibility, because the Old Trafford team is about to go through an extremely difficult schedule.
Foster was quoted by Metro as saying: “Can you imagine if Manchester United sacked another manager before the end of the season? Look at their next fixtures, for heaven’s sake. Newcastle are next, then they’ve got Liverpool in the Premier League. Arsenal in the FA Cup won’t be easy either.
I think they could easily lose all three. But the most terrible game is against Southampton. That will be El Sackico at Old Trafford!”
El Sackico is a "super classic" match to see which coach will be fired. Because similar to Ruben Amorim, Southampton coach Ivan Juric is also going through a bad time.
Currently, Juric and his students have only won 1 in the last 18 matches and are ranked bottom of the Premier League. Although Southampton are clearly weaker than Man United, when they are in a corner, they will create many problems for any opponent.
