Manchester United legend, Gary Neville has come out to say that Ruben Amorim does not trust his players. This is coming after two successive Premier League defeats, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the only reason Amorim keeps changing his first XI every week is because he has not seen eleven players he can trust to consistently win games for the club.
Neville, however, added that changing players every now and then will not give the team the consistency it badly needs.
His words, “When you keep changing players and you keep changing your back three and you take five players off, you’re basically saying to all of them, because they’ve obviously been taken off at the start of the game, that you don’t trust them.
Ten Hag kept doing that a few weeks ago when he kept changing the back players, changing the midfield. All of a sudden you’ve got a completely different system, a completely different set of players on the pitch at the end of the game. You can never get consistency.
It looked really scruffy. They looked a mess at the end United with no real shape. In the first half they weren’t brilliant but at least they had a shape to them.
Pick an XI that you think are the best. Almost give that XI the faith and trust. Maresca’s doing it now at Chelsea – he’s playing an XI on a Sunday or a Saturday and then he’s playing a different XI in midweek.
He’s sending some messages to the players that there’s stability here and this is what we’re going to do. When you change players all the time you’re just spinning plates and there’s no consistency. You need to build patterns together. You need to build that idea of what you are doing together.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
