While Manchester United are in talks of finding an immediate fix of an interim manager for the remainder of the season post the exit of Ruben Amorim, club legend Wayne Rooney said that he would be open to joining the coaching cavalry of the next Red Devils gaffer. Former United midfielder Michael Carrick is currently the favourite to manage the club until the end of the season. Since Amorim’s exit, first-team duties have been handled by Darren Fletcher, who recently led the squad through a Premier League draw at Burnley and a 2-1 FA Cup exit at the hands of Brighton. Rooney rued that the 20-time Premier League champions have lost their identity, and the next manager must be the one who can understand the ethos of the club. “Whether Michael goes in or if that’s Fletch [Darren Fletcher] or John O’Shea or myself, it needs people who know the football club,” said Rooney on the BBC podcast The Wayne Rooney Show. “Roy Keane – I know Roy has had his opinions, I said about …

Ruben Amorim bristled at questions about his job security on Sunday, delivering a defiant message that he came to Manchester United as a manager with full authority and not merely a coach taking orders. Amorim had looked downbeat on Friday when discussing potential transfers and the Portuguese coach grew visibly irritated when pressed about whether he still had the board’s confidence. The 40-year-old cut off reporters with a sharp rebuke about “selective information” before launching into an ‍emphatic ⁠defence of his position. “I came here to be the manager of Manchester United, not to be the coach of Manchester United, and that is clear,” a visibly frustrated Amorim said after the 1-1 draw at Leeds United. “I know that my name is ​not (Thomas) Tuchel, it’s not (Antonio) Conte, it’s not (Jose) Mourinho, ‌but I’m the manager of Manchester United. It’s going to be like this for 18 months or when the board decides ​to change.” ‘I’m not going to quit’ Amorim made clear he has no intention of walking away from Old Trafford, repeatedly …

Gary Neville blasts Ruben Amorim over Manchester United’s ‘appalling’ back-three reversion in Wolves draw

Published by Webster

Former English footballer Gary Neville blasted Manchester United and coach Ruben Amorim after the side played out a 1-1 draw against a struggling Wolverhampton Wanderers in a Premier League match on Tuesday. Neville was particularly disappointed with Amorim’s decision to play back three against Wolves, which cost them two crucial points, and the English football pundit said, United went backwards because Amorim decided to revert to a back three. “That was the baddest of the bad that. They weren’t just booed off at full-time. The fans waited in the stadium to continue to boo them,” he said on the Gary Neville podcast. The Reds missed out on the chance to go fourth on the leaderboards and became the first side to drop points to Wolves since October after a run of 12 consecutive defeats as Amorim’s side were booed off by their own fans at Old Trafford. Neville was surprised Amorim had not gone with the back four that earned Man United a 1-0 win over Newcastle at home on Boxing Day, given his only …

Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has accused Sir Jim Ratcliffe of trying to “destroy” the club.

Cantona was speaking at FC United of Manchester, a fans-owned club, that was founded in 2005 after the Glazers bought the club.“Since Ratcliffe arrived this team of directors have tried to destroy everything and they don’t respect anybody,” Cantona said. “They even want to change the stadium. The soul of the team and the club is not in the players. All the people around are like a big family.” Ratcliffe has sacked nearly 450 Manchester United staff and Cantona criticised the cuts in jobs.“I think it’s very important to respect these people like you respect your manager and teammates. Since Ratcliffe arrived, it’s the complete opposite. He doesn’t want Sir Alex Ferguson as an ambassador any more. He is more than a legend and I think we have to find this soul again. …

Former Manchester United midfielder Nemanja Matic has branded current United goalkeeper Andre Onana “one of the worst goalkeepers” in the English club’s history ahead of the Europa League match between Matic’s current team Lyon and United. Matic was responding to comments from Onana about how United is “way better” than Lyon. “I respect everyone but to say that you need to give an answer. If you are one of the worst goalkeepers in Man United history, you need to take care what you are talking about,” the 36-year-old Matic said. He had played for United from 2017-22 and left the 20-time English champions before Onana arrived from Inter Milan in 2023. “If David De Gea, Peter Schmeichel, (Edwin) van der Sar said that, I would question myself,” Matic added when asked about Onana’s comments. “But if you are one of statistically the worst goalkeepers in Man United’s modern history, then he needs to show that before he says.

Manchester United will play in exhibition games in Kuala Lumpur on May 28 and Hong Kong on May 30, right after playing their last home game of the season against Aston Villa on May 25.
