Man Utd have lined up three candidates to replace Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford if they decide to sack the head coach, according to reports.

The Red Devils are having a nightmare season with the Man Utd board deciding to replace Erik ten Hag with Amorim in November.

Amorim has failed to get improved performances or results from the players with Man Utd currently 14th in the Premier League table after 27 matches. The Portuguese coach has seemingly taken Man Utd even further backwards with the Red Devils also exited the FA Cup at the fifth round stage against Fulham on Sunday. Amorim’s players are struggling to get to grips with the former Sporting CP boss’ style of play, philosophy and tactics – but he will be hoping to get to prove himself next season despite recent poor displays.

Man Utd has only made one signing that fits Amorim’s system, Patrick Dorgu, but he needs more to improve the Red Devils’ fortunes. According to Spanish website Fichajes, the Man Utd board is considering a change in management after recent results.
