"Well, here we go again. The clown car called Manchester United just tooted its horn, backfired loudly and threw its latest driver out on to Sir Matt Busby Way. Darren Fletcher is now at the wheel, where Ruben, Ole and so many others have been before. A wheel that seems to come off in the hands of those who attempt to grip it. Amorim out was inevitable, most pundits seem to agree."
"He was, variously, out of his depth, not Roy Keane, not Sir Alex Ferguson, barely a manager at all, and didn't understand the club or its traditions. Worse, he fell out with the Old Trafford suits who hired him, challenging them to leave him to get on with his job, and suggesting they should focus on getting on with theirs."
Ruben Amorim was dismissed as Manchester United manager after public clashes with club executives following a 1-1 draw with Leeds. Critics labeled him out of his depth, lacking the stature of past managers, and accused him of misunderstanding club traditions. Amorim publicly challenged the board to allow him autonomy while urging them to concentrate on their roles. He had campaigned to improve first-team infrastructure and to curb player entitlement, confronting lax warm-up routines. Many observers felt his passion and stubbornness shaped both his reforms and his downfall, and some believed the club should have retained Erik ten Hag.
