Ruben Amorim, the new manager of Manchester United, has been facing a lot of challenges since his arrival. According to Micah Richards, he is struggling to handle the pressures of the media that come with such a big role. This was evident in the team's recent 1-0 defeat to Tottenham, which has left them in 15th place in the Premier League table.
It was a tense match, with James Maddison scoring the only goal in the first half. This loss marks United's 12th defeat this season, which is their highest in the top flight in over three decades. And with several key players out due to injuries, it seems like the road ahead will only get tougher for Amorim and his team, especially with an upcoming game against an in-form Everton.
After the match, Amorim faced questions about his job security, but he confidently dismissed any suggestion that he was at risk of losing his position. However, he did admit that the job is not an easy one. Despite this, Richards believes that Amorim's handling of the media is not helping his case. He cited Amorim's comments about playing the goalkeeping coach instead of Marcus Rashford and his exchange with Angel Gomez before the game as examples of his naivety.
Richards originally thought that Amorim's honesty was refreshing, but now he believes that the manager doesn't fully understand the level of scrutiny that comes with being the manager of Manchester United. Every word he says is dissected and turned into a headline, which only adds to the chaos surrounding the team.
While it's understandable for a manager to dislike a player, Richards believes that Amorim's actions and words are making things more difficult for himself. He advises him to focus on the football and stop giving the media ammunition to create bigger stories.
Amorim also faced criticism for not utilizing any of the academy players until the end of the game. However, he explained that he is trying to be cautious with these young talents, especially in such a competitive league. He stated that he didn't feel the need to make any changes during the match, but these players will have their chance to shine in the future.
Despite the challenges and criticism, Amorim remains confident in his abilities and is determined to turn things around for Manchester United. Only time will tell if he can handle the pressures and expectations of being the manager of one of the biggest clubs in the world.
