Alan Shearer Drops Ruben Amorim Sack Verdict After Man Utd v Newcastle

Alan Shearer says Manchester United have to stick with Ruben Amorim and give him ‘loads of money’ to spend in the upcoming transfer windows, as he admitted the Portuguese tactician has a ‘huge job’ ahead of him. The Red Devils suffered a worrying 4-1 defeat at Newcastle United on Sunday, giving further ammunition to Amorim’s critics and raising fresh doubts over his long-term future at Old Trafford. However, Shearer believes the former Sporting Lisbon boss will remain in charge despite United heading for their worst-ever Premier League finish, and insists he will need significant backing to rebuild the squad.

The BBC pundit said United are ‘in desperate need’ of a new centre-forward, goalkeeper and midfielders, and added that ‘the whole team needs fixing’. Shearer: Amorim Should Stay at Old Trafford Speaking on The Rest is Football , Shearer said United now have a squad that ‘is not very good’ at carrying out Amorim’s ideas, and backed the Portuguese manager to continue at Old Trafford: “They're going to have to stick with him. I mean, they've made the decision, he's the manager.



They're going to have to give him two or three transfer windows, and also, crucially, they're going to have to load him with a load of money to go and spend. “Because they're in desperate need of a centre-forward, they're in desperate need of a goalkeeper and in desperate need of legs in midfield. “I mean, we go through the whole team.

It needs fixing. It's a huge job, so they have to stick with him. “But I do think sometimes and look at him, and he is asking players to do something they can't do, and they're really struggling in the system that he wants them to play.

Clearly, they're not very good at doing that.” Sign up to The GIVEMESPORT Report to get exclusive daily updates from Fabrizio Romano, Ben Jacobs, Dean Jones and Tom Bogert sent straight to your inbox.
