Former Grand striker Alan Shearer (55) is of the opinion that Ruben Amorim (40) can be dismissed by Manchester United In case of failure in the match with Chelseawhich will be played on Saturday, from 7:30 pm.
Ruben Amorim risks being dismissed from Manchester United this weekend. This is the opinion of Alan Shearer, a legend of English football, which emphasizes the stubborn attitude of the Portuguese coach, in addition to the weak results.
After the categorical defeat on Manchester City (0-3), United receives the visit of Chelsea on Saturday, on “Old Trafford”, in the 5th stage of the Premier League, in a match that is again extremely difficult. After the first 4 rounds, United is only 14th, with 4 points.
Alan Shearer: “Ruben Amorim will be successful or die under the sword”
“Last weekend on Etihad, was a battle between men and boys. They were miles away in terms of quality, system, attitude and whatever you want to mention, despite the money spent by Manchester United.
I do not think they can afford to be defeated in this way by Chelsea. If it happens then I would be afraid of what will happen to the coach now”, Said Shearer, according to Sportal.gr.

The former big striker continued: “Something has to improve quickly. Manchester United cannot be in 14, 15 or 16 in the Premier League. There was no improvement and this cannot continue considering the amounts spent by the club.
Will die by the sword or be the success he needs. The situation seems very negative and I don't think many of these players are suitable for the system. Amorim knows that either he will keep his job or lose it. It is a very interesting weekend and does not allow another crushing defeat like last weekend. ”
