Ruben Amorim replacing Erik ten Hag at Manchester United months after the former manager had his contract extended has, understandably, led to criticism of the club.
Manchester United have got their man, with Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim set to replace the recently-departed Erik ten Hag from November 11.
Three days after finally becoming United's new sporting director, Dan Ashworth said that the club's review of last season "reached a clear conclusion that Erik was the best partner for us to work with". However, those comments were caveated by acknowledging that the same review "highlighted areas for improvement".
The report aligns with what the Ineos owner said early last month about any decision regarding the future of Ten Hag falling with that footballing leadership team rather than himself. "It's the management team that's running Manchester United that have to decide how we best run the team in many different respects," Ratcliffe said when pressed by BBC Sport.
