Man Utd news: Fan views on Amorim staying in charge

We asked for your views on whether Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim should be given time irrespective of what happens in the Europa League final.

Here are some of your comments:

Steve: A trophy win of any kind will never make up for this disastrous season. The culture and responsibility within the playing staff has to change. The only way of ensuring that, is to keep hold of Amorim and see out the changes that are required to keep the sinking ship afloat. Long term pain I’m afraid, but without it we’re sunk.

James: We have changed managers too many times, hoping for a quick fix. Amorim (and the team behind him now) need to make fundamental changes and the fans have to stay behind them as they build around a new vision. Constant changing won’t fix anything. The sad truth is that too many of the players are just not good enough, and Amorim inherited that situation.

Dave: Amorim must be backed in the summer. He’s stuck to his guns and identified the weaknesses – not just in skill, but also mentality. He’s gone halfway to getting rid of players that aren’t good enough or that have poor attitudes – Rashford, Antony, Sancho – and the board needs to make sure they are gone by pre-season. Winning the Europa League will paper over the cracks, sure, but the extra revenue could let us do in one transfer window what could take two or three windows without Europe. We’ve heard from ownership how they’ve built a best-in-class leadership level, it’s now up to them to show they’re good enough by getting Amorim what he needs.

However, not all comments were in favour of Amorim staying as the United boss. Here are some of them:

Derek: If Amorim continues to play five defenders who rarely offer any lasting support to the midfield or to the front players, United will continue to invite the opposition to score and create too few chances. A repeat performance against Spurs will likely seal the deal on his exit.

Mark: I think he should go immediately after the final and take his staff with him. We aren’t going to beat Spurs as they know how to play against us having beaten us three times this season. Our league form has dipped severely under Amorim, he’s clearly not the man for the job.

Farid: A season to forget. Amorim have himself to blame for these poor results. He decided he didn’t need Rashford and Antony when the team didn’t have any other attacking players. Then he stuck to his 3-4-2-1 formation knowing his team are going to lose the game. He is happy to lose games, and happy to make his players scapegoats so he can get the players he wants. I don’t have faith he will change things around next season. I’d say get De Zerbi from Marseille.
