Manchester United is sixth in the Premier League, almost not classifying for the Champions League and with less than 4 points ahead than Sunderland A.F.C., Everton F.C., Fulham F.C., Brighton & Hove Albion F.C., Newcastle United y Brentford F.C..
Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville said he “thought they’d get through another couple of weeks”
This reality made clear that Amorim’s direction wasn’t working, and that the club was falling apart.
