Manchester United has a great advantage and a great price, Amorin can only follow Tenhager s footsteps

The goal difference is -9, and the winning rate is barely more than 25%. This is a bad result that Manchester United has never encountered since the founding of the Premier League. Obviously, Manchester United has paid a considerable price for the change of coaches. Ironically, despite the low league rankings, Manchester United has a great advantage and is expected to participate in the Champions League. Amorin never gave up and is now forced to follow in Tenghager's footsteps.

In the past six rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United has been hard to win, losing to Nottingham Forest and Newcastle, and drew with Manchester City. The strong opponent is a pretext. However, losing to Wolves and Brentford and drawing with Bournemouth, fans can only laugh at themselves. It is reasonable that the team with low rankings cannot defeat the team with high rankings, and it is not unpopular.

This season, Manchester United has experienced three head coaches, led by Tenghager, with 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in 9 league games, 1 draw in 4 consecutive points, followed by Van Nie, with 1 win, 1 draw in 2 league games, 1 draw in 1 draw in 2 league games, 1 win, 1 draw in 1 game, and 1 draw in 24 league games, 24 draws in 6 wins, 6 draws and 12 losses in 24 league games, 6 wins, 3 draws in 3 draws in 24 league games.

It can be seen that Amorin averaged exactly 1 point in the Premier League, which was even lower than Tenhager. Is Manchester United really a "lonely" change? Perhaps, at the end of September and early October last year, before the two-week national team match day, Manchester United lost five games in the Premier League and Europa League, it was the best time for Tenhager to leave. Unfortunately, Manchester United chose to trust the Dutch coach again and waited until the next national team match day before the change of coaches.

In November last year, the Serie A powerhouse Roma changed coaches. The 73-year-old retired coach Ranieri took office almost the same period as Amorin. At that time, Manchester United and Roma were in a relatively close situation. After Ranieri took over, he scored a total of 50 points in 23 league rounds. He is currently tied with Juventus, which ranks fourth in points, and is expected to hit the UEFA Champions League qualification next season and is once again known as the "pot-making machine".

Looking back at the trend of Portugal Sports, when Amorin led the team, he won 11 consecutive league wins, 3 wins and 1 draw in the Champions League, second only to Liverpool. After Amorin left, he had been unable to win in 8 games. The top spot was once given to Benfica, and now he is barely tied for the first place in points. The Champions League was even worse, with 1 draw and 3 losses almost missing the group qualifying, and eventually lost to Dortmund in the play-offs and was eliminated. The strong contrast of reality does prove that Amorin has a certain level. After coming to Manchester United, Amorin did not have Ranieri's "luck" or the old coach's ability to "make up the pot". He was unable to get out of the predicament and could only continue to stick to his tactical ideas.

It can only be said that Tenghag left too late and Amorin came too early.

When Tenghager broke the six-year championship drought and two championships in two years, as long as the team wins the championship, even if he only wins eighth place in the Premier League, it will be successful. Witnessing more than ten years of downturn, this view has been recognized in the eyes of some Manchester United fans.

By the same token, Manchester United is now ranked the bottom in the Premier League relegation zone. Even if they create a bunch of historically low data, they don’t even have half of the league points in Liverpool. As long as Amorin finally wins the UEFA Cup championship, it is also a success.

From a dialectical perspective, winning the championship is of course a success and worthy of recognition. However, don’t forget that Manchester United has been the overlord of the Premier League for a long time. Is a championship enough? If this is the case, Manchester United can give up the league directly in the future, and will not be relegated anyway. They will focus on various cup competitions and strive to win the championship. Is it also called success?

Ranieri has outstanding ability to bridge the team and has also led Leicester City to win the championship in the Premier League, but it should not be someone Manchester United needs. What Manchester United needs is that the head coach who starts from the foundation and completes the reconstruction, just like Klopp, will be more patient and more time, and slowly let the team go on track, leaving a lineup that can win the championship even before leaving.

Earlier, Amorin publicly confirmed that Manchester United needs to "give up" the league and strive for the UEFA Cup. In the severe situation, they can only follow Tenhager's footsteps and exchange the cup championship for European competition qualifications, which is also very expensive.

The last two European games have reversed Lyon 5-4 and beat Bilbao 3-0, which is enough to prove that the whole team still has the strength to defeat the opponent. Even if he lost to Brentford 3-4, the passion that bursts out at the last moment is what Manchester United fans want to see.

The whole team also steadily practiced such a declaration. In front of the host of the UEFA Cup final, Manchester United established a huge advantage, leading by three goals, returning to home court, and getting tickets to the finals should not be too difficult. Garnacho is gradually matured, Casemiro is not old, Maguire teaches forwards and wingers how to score goals, captain Fernandez scores repeatedly, Manchester United seems to have begun to adapt to Amorin's system, and Amorin's persistence also seems to have begun to see rewards.

Last season, Manchester United's goal difference was a negative, and this season would be a negative. I hope this will not happen again in the next season. Cup champions can never become the only goal, and rediscovering the competitiveness of the league is the cornerstone of reconstruction work. The revival is the beginning when Manchester United has the ability to challenge Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City.
