Manchester United is facing up to the reality of a relegation battle, so is Ruben Amorim doomed to fail as the club's new manager?

Manchester United turned down the chance to appoint Ruben Amorim over the summer due to concerns over his playing style. That’s according to talkSPORT’s chief football correspondent

Manchester United rejected the opportunity to appoint Ruben Amorim just months before performing a U-turn and selecting him as Erik ten Hag 's successor, according to reports. Amorim was named head coach in November after the club's hierarchy finally pulled the trigger on sacking Ten Hag amid an abysmal start to the season.
