According to reports, Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been in \u2018direct contact\u2019 with Gareth Southgate as Ruben Amorim faces being sacked.<\/p>\n
It feels like Amorim<\/strong> <\/a>is on the brink at Man Utd, who suffered a damaging 3-1 defeat at Brentford on Saturday afternoon.<\/p>\n Man Utd<\/strong><\/a> have gone backwards under Amorim, who has failed to get the best out of his squad and implement his preferred 3-4-3 formation.<\/p>\n Following Saturday\u2019s poor defeat and performance, Amorim is the joint-favourite to be the next Premier League manager sacked<\/strong><\/a> as Man Utd are in the lowly position of 14th in the table.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Despite this, Amorim has explained why he is \u201cnot concerned\u201d about losing his job.<\/p>\n \u201cI am always comfortable with the job. I am not concerned, it is not my decision. I will do the best I can every minute I am here. I am never concerned about my job, I am not that kind of guy,\u201d Amorim claimed.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Man Utd in \u2018grim ritual\u2019, Wirtz \u2018utter sh*te\u2019 for Liverpool, Maresca \u2018out now\u2019 and\u2026 Glasner to Arsenal?<\/a> \u201cI\u2019m always doing my job. If I win, I\u2019m in a different state of mind. That is normal, but I\u2019m always confident because I know what to do. I\u2019ve always taken a lot of responsibility on your own shoulders.<\/p>\n \u201cWe can play better and we need to play better. It\u2019s like ups and downs. When you win, you feel that everything, the momentum is here. When you lose, you go back to the same place and you fight again for one win that can help you to create the momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n Still, Amorim is under intense scrutiny and a report from talkSPORT claims<\/a> former England boss Gareth Southgate is on a \u2018three-man shortlist\u2019 of potential replacements.<\/p>\n Southgate was heavily linked with Man Utd last year and was targeted by INEOS as a replacement for Erik ten Hag, though he was keen to take a break from management.<\/p>\n MORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 Now, it seems Southgate may be ready to return as Ratcliffe has been in \u2018direct contact\u2019 with him \u2018in recent weeks\u2019 and he is \u2018an option\u2019 to replace Amorim.<\/p>\n The report has also revealed Man Utd\u2019s stance on sacking Amorim, with one key factor likely to force a delay.<\/p>\n The report explains.<\/p>\n \u2018The United hierarchy are reluctant to axe Amorim despite a dismal run of only 33 points from his 34 Premier League games in charge.<\/p>\n \u2018If they do pull the trigger, they are likely to wait until after Saturday, November 1, to reduce the level of compensation.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n It is also revealed that \u2018other potential replacements include\u2019 Crystal Palace\u2019s Oliver Glasner and AFC Bournemouth\u2019s Andoni Iraola.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to reports, Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been in \u2018direct contact\u2019 with Gareth Southgate as…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":73909,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[18,23042,794,19,17,20,5,795,5005,23071,132,5279],"class_list":{"0":"post-90699","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-gareth-southgate","10":"tag-home-page","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-manchester-united","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-premier-league","16":"tag-ruben-amorim","17":"tag-sir-jim-ratcliffe","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-uncategorized"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90699","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=90699"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/90699\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73909"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=90699"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=90699"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=90699"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
