Newcastle United Legend Alan Shearer has urged Manchester United to exercise patience with new manager Ruben Amorim.
Amorim who joined the Red Devils from former side Sporting Lisbon is currently preparing to be in charge of his first-ever game in charge of the team. He replaced Dutch Coach Erik Ten Hag who was sacked after series of disappointing performances.
“You never get a free pass when you become the new manager of Manchester United, but you might get away with one or two things because there’s so much to be done at the football club and so much to be changed”, he said.
The 54-year old Shearer said Amorim, who is preparing to take charge of his first-ever game at the Red Devils, requires time to instill his plan into the team for the required success.
“It may take a little bit of time for Ruben to implement his own ideas and own system on some of the players because they’ll probably try a system that they haven’t played before.”
Amorim is expected to hit the ground running and has been tasked with returning Manchester United back to its ‘glory days’. However, Shearer believes the Portuguese coach faces a huge challenge and quick results should not be expected.
“Whilst you don’t want to make excuses for anyone, the damage that’s been done over the years at Man United and how hard it’s been for them, you’d understand if it takes a bit of time for Amorim to get it right”, he continued.
Amorim will take charge of his first game for Manchester United when they travel to Portman Road to face Ipswich Town on Sunday.
