Ruben Amorim's Manchester United record: Is he the worst United boss since Sir Alex Ferguson?

"Ruben Amorim's miserable 14-month spell at Manchester United came to an end this morning with the club announcing the Portuguese had been sacked. The axe fell following the 1-1 draw at Leeds yesterday, although seemingly it was not the result or performance that prompted the decision with Amorim using the post-match press conference to insist he was the manager, not head coach, words that hinted at disharmony with chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox."

"It has been an uphill struggle for Amorim since day one at Old Trafford with his much-scrutinised 3-4-3 formation seemingly ill-suited to the players at his disposal. But how does his record compare to his predecessors in the Manchester United hot-seat since Sir Alex Ferguson departed in 2013 having won 13 Premier League crowns, as well as five FA Cups and the Champions League twice?"

"Moyes was handed what appeared the near-impossible job of replacing Ferguson and struggled to make any kind of positive impact. The club lost three of his first six league games in charge, setting the tone for a short spell that ended on April 22, less than a year into a six-year contract. His final game in charge was a 2-0 defeat at former club Everton. Moyes had a win percentage of 53% in all competitions."

Ruben Amorim was sacked after a miserable 14-month spell at Manchester United. The dismissal came after a 1-1 draw at Leeds, and Amorim's post-match insistence that he was the manager, not head coach, hinted at disharmony with chief executive Omar Berrada and director of football Jason Wilcox. Amorim struggled from day one with a much-scrutinised 3-4-3 formation that appeared ill-suited to the squad. Manchester United's post-Ferguson era has seen multiple managers. David Moyes endured a short tenure, losing three of his first six league games and finishing with a 53% win rate. Louis van Gaal oversaw heavy summer investment and guided the club to fourth place in his first season.
