Ruben Amorim brutally told he has made Man Utd 'so much worse' as Red Devils boss roasted by Alan Shearer after 'embarrassing' Europa League final defeat by Tottenham

Amorim decided to join Manchester United in November after the Red Devils parted ways with Erik ten Hag, after the Dutch coach left the side 14th in the Premier League. A lot was expected of the Portuguese coach who had revolutionised Sporting CP. However, what followed was a horror season as Amorim has only led the side to six wins in 26 Premier League matches, and United are set to end the campaign 15th in the league, at best.

Despite their domestic struggles, United reached the Europa League final but ultimately fell short against Tottenham Hotspur in a somewhat underwhelming final between the two struggling Premier League sides. Newcastle United legend Shearer has now claimed that Amorim has hurt the Red Devils more than he has improved the side's dwindling fortune.

Speaking to Betfair, Shearer said: "There will be a lot of questions around Ruben Amorim’s future now and very much like the Spurs situation, it wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't the manager at the beginning of the season. Whether that's his choice or not, I guess.

"I've said it so many times, there's no way he's gone into that football club and expected what he found. There's no way he thought it was that bad. He couldn't have, because I'm not sure you'd go.

"He hasn't helped the situation. They've actually got so much worse under him. It might have been papering over the cracks if they had won the Europa League, but their problems were summed up in that 97 minutes: no creativity, no legs, no energy, no goals, and a complete mess."

Despite Shearer's claims that Amorim may not be at United past this summer, reports have suggested that the Portuguese coach will be backed by United to continue next season. It has been reported that INEOS are set to offer the coach a transfer budget of £100 million as they look to improve the squad based on Amorim's desired options.
