When it was announced that Ruben Amorim would be taking over as the new manager of Manchester United, many fans were left wondering what changes he would bring to the team. Former player Alan Shearer believes that one of Amorim's first tasks will be to assess the current players and determine who he wants to keep and who he wants to let go.
Amorim's appointment comes after the club decided to sack Erik ten Hag, who had managed to win two trophies but had struggled in the Premier League, with the team finishing 8th last season and slipping to 14th before his dismissal. Shearer acknowledges that Amorim has a huge job ahead of him and will need to make important decisions, such as what to do with Marcus Rashford.
The young English player had a fantastic first season under ten Hag, scoring 30 goals, but his performance declined in the following years. Shearer questions whether Amorim can help Rashford regain his confidence and reach his full potential, or if he will consider selling him. Shearer also recognizes that Amorim's job will not be an easy one, especially with the intense scrutiny and pressure that comes with managing one of the biggest clubs in the world.
While Shearer believes that Amorim's appointment can bring hope and improvement to Manchester United, he also acknowledges that they will need to make additions to their squad in order to compete for a top four spot. In the meantime, interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy will continue to lead the team until Amorim officially takes over during the next international break.
The team's recent 5-2 victory against Leicester City, under the guidance of van Nistelrooy, has given fans renewed hope and belief. Shearer predicts that this energy and optimism will continue into their upcoming match against Chelsea, despite the challenges they may face. He also believes that both teams have room for improvement defensively, and predicts a score draw for the game.
Ultimately, Shearer is excited to see what Amorim can bring to Manchester United and believes that his arrival can only be a positive for the club. Fans can look forward to seeing how Amorim's leadership will impact the team and if they can climb back up the Premier League standings.
