Ruben Amorim advised to sell five players as I am a Man Utd legend.

Last month, Ruben Amorim stepped in as the new manager at Manchester United, taking over from the recently sacked Erik ten Hag. As a former player for the club, United legend Nicky Butt had high expectations for Amorim and the team. However, he has since expressed his concerns and believes that some changes need to be made in the squad.

Under Ten Hag, United had managed to win a few cups, but their performance in the Premier League was less than impressive. When Amorim arrived, there was a sense of optimism among the fans, but that has dwindled after a series of losses. In his second game as manager, United put four goals past Everton, giving fans a glimmer of hope. However, they then suffered defeats against top teams like Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.

While Amorim was able to lift spirits with a comeback win against Manchester City, the team has since lost three games in a row. They were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Tottenham and suffered humiliating defeats to Bournemouth and Wolves. As a result, United is currently sitting at 14th place in the Premier League, a far cry from their usual top spot.

Amorim has acknowledged that it will take time for his ideas to be implemented in the squad. He is expected to make some changes during the January transfer window and next summer. This means that some players may have to leave the club, and Butt has already named five players he believes should be offloaded.

One of these players is Mason Mount, a former Chelsea star who joined United for a whopping £60m in 2023. However, the 25-year-old has struggled to make an impact, both in terms of form and fitness. He only made 14 appearances in the league last season and has started only four games this season before getting injured again.

In addition to Mount, Butt believes that midfielders Casemiro and Christian Eriksen should also be moved on. Casemiro, a five-time Champions League winner, had a rough second half of the season and was even advised by Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher to retire from top-level football. Eriksen, on the other hand, has scored a few goals for United but has not lived up to the club's high standards.

Butt also thinks that United needs to replace goalkeeper Andre Onana, who was signed for £47m from Inter Milan. While Onana helped his former team reach the Champions League final, he has been prone to errors at United. Another player that Butt believes should be replaced is Jonny Evans, who has had some good performances but is past his prime at 36 years old.

It's been a tough December for Manchester United, and their upcoming fixtures against in-form Newcastle United and league leaders Liverpool do not make things easier. However, Amorim and the team are determined to turn things around and get back to their winning ways.
