'Tis the winter of discombobulation for AFC Bournemouth. No win in months, their top scorer with a foot out of the door. It would be quite enough at some clubs for a boss to have been sacked twice over, with Ange Postecoglou popping up in between. When Andoni Iraola arrived at Bournemouth in 2023, he went 13-and-a-half hours and nine agonising games without a win.

Ruben Amorim's record as United manager is really poor, and it's hard to see him surviving for much longer. The Portuguese tactician impressed at former club Sporting Lisbon, but his lack of Premier League experience is perhaps starting to show as he's struggled to make the step up to such a big job. Iraola, by contrast, has already shown what he can do in the Premier League, and so he might be better suited to what's required at MUFC right now.

I have no doubt that he's ready for this jump. Real Madrid is probably the biggest club in the world... I think he's going to be very good for Real Madrid.
