Former Man Utd defender Gary Neville has revealed that Ruben Amorim has another \u201cbig job over the next couple of weeks\u201d after guiding the Red Devils to three wins in a row.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils won their first back-to-back Premier League matches under Amorim when they beat Liverpool last weekend<\/strong><\/a> and their 4-2 win over Brighton on Saturday saw them take that run of victories to three on the bounce.<\/p>\n Amorim has spent much of this season under pressure but those three wins saw them fly above defending champions Liverpool in the table<\/strong><\/a> and into fourth position.<\/p>\n And Neville has hailed it as Amorim\u2019s \u201cbest week in the job\u201d but warns the Man Utd<\/strong><\/a> head coach that he\u2019s \u201cnot out of the woods yet\u201d.<\/p>\n Neville told\u00a0Sky Sports<\/a>: \u201cI think that it feels like his best week in the job.<\/p>\n \u201cI think where we\u2019ve all been with it, I wouldn\u2019t have been surprised if we talked about him losing his job. I was thinking he was under massive pressure after going into the international break in October. I felt as though that change could be imminent.<\/p>\n MAILBOX:\u00a0Liverpool in \u2018transition season\u2019 as VVD \u2018declines into Lovren\u2019; Man Utd \u2018hope cannot be allowed to fester\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cBut the victory at Anfield shows you how things can turn around and then obviously this was so important today.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s not out of the woods yet and it\u2019s certainly not time to get carried away but I think Manchester United are now where they thought they probably would be.<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ll slip down a couple of places after the rest of the teams play and they\u2019ll end up in sixth or seventh but that\u2019s where I think everyone thought they would be.<\/p>\n \u201cSo, look, this has been a very important week for the manager and for the club and you can see the celebration at the end there was more than just a little bit of relief that, yeah, we needed this badly.<\/p>\n \u201cA few weeks ago I was a little bit worried that the players didn\u2019t believe in Ruben Amorim\u2019s system, that maybe there was an element of them not winning matches and starting to question it, listening to the noise that all of us, including myself, had added to that.<\/p>\n \u201cHowever, one thing that\u2019s been absolutely not in doubt when you speak to people in and around the club is that the players really like him as a person and that does count for a lot.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause I think there\u2019s no doubt he\u2019s not lost the dressing room in terms of spirit and energy and how they feel towards him. They want to play for him, they\u2019re desperate to win and you\u2019ve seen that coming together a little bit in the last week.<\/p>\n \u201cI mean, winning at Anfield in any season is special but for Ruben Amorim to win at Anfield when it was so unexpected, that has given them such a big lift.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ll look forward to the game next week against Nottingham Forest, Tottenham away the week after. There\u2019s still a big job to do in this month but I felt as though it was a month of reckoning. If it had started badly last week at Liverpool, it could have gone a different way.<\/p>\n \u201cIt feels very different, it feels like the momentum\u2019s with them a little bit and the spirit\u2019s good.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 Neville reckons Amorim still needs to get the best out of Benjamin Sesko over the next couple of weeks with Mbeumo and Cunha now firing.<\/p>\n The Man Utd legend added: \u201cThere\u2019s question marks over Sesko. I think he was a bigger risk as a signing. It doesn\u2019t look like he\u2019s quite settled in yet. It would be nice if it could start to look like a front three. It still feels like a front two, with him stood up there. I think that\u2019s the big job over the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s more than the goals; it\u2019s the inclusion within the combinations that you see from the others. You see Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount, who wasn\u2019t playing today, linking very successfully with Mbeumo and Cunha. You don\u2019t quite see Sesko being part of that mix yet.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s not got up to the pace of it, with how quickly they\u2019re playing with each other. He needs to get his game up to speed and that will only come through time. Obviously, he\u2019s still quite young but he just needs to get there.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s a big signing, and if they can become a front three, that will be huge. It still feels like a two with another guy stood up there occupying space.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Man Utd defender Gary Neville has revealed that Ruben Amorim has another \u201cbig job over the next…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":146331,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[58393,9,10,18,13,14,8141,6,794,19,17,11,12,15,16,20,5,795,5005,7,8],"class_list":{"0":"post-146330","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-benjamin-sesko","9":"tag-breaking-news","10":"tag-breakingnews","11":"tag-eire","12":"tag-featured-news","13":"tag-featurednews","14":"tag-gary-neville","15":"tag-headlines","16":"tag-home-page","17":"tag-ie","18":"tag-ireland","19":"tag-latest-news","20":"tag-latestnews","21":"tag-main-news","22":"tag-mainnews","23":"tag-manchester-united","24":"tag-news","25":"tag-premier-league","26":"tag-ruben-amorim","27":"tag-top-stories","28":"tag-topstories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115440968208175269","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146330\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
