Paul Merson discussed Ruben Amorim’s challenges after his first fixture as Manchester United manager ended in a 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town. Merson warned that Amorim may face scrutiny if victories do not materialize, given the expectations at a club as high-profile as Manchester United.
Paul Merson said “If they don’t start winning games, Amorim will have to start answering a lot more questions whether he likes it or not. That is just how big this club is and how the Premier League is in a nutshell.”
Reflecting on Manchester United’s performance against Ipswich Town, Paul Merson expressed his reservations about Ruben Amorim’s tactical approach, indicating that Ipswich seemed more dominant during parts of the game, which was unexpected for a club of United’s stature.
Paul Merson said “I’m not entirely convinced about Manchester United’s new system under Amorim. After a point in that game, you would’ve thought Ipswich were the bigger club and not United, that’s how it went.”
