Gary Neville acknowledges that Ruben Amorim’s position as manager could be in jeopardy after publicly criticizing the leadership at Manchester United. Neville suggests that such remarks might have serious repercussions, as pointing fingers at senior figures often leads to increased scrutiny and potential dismissal in football management.

Manchester United legend Gary Neville believes Ruben Amorim’s position as manager remains precarious, even though he has only been in charge for two months. Amorim’s team suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat at home against Newcastle on Monday, marking their fourth consecutive loss and third straight game without scoring.

Newcastle dominated early, with Alexander Isak and Joelinton scoring to leave United reeling. Neville criticized Amorim’s tactical decisions, particularly his midfield pairing of Casemiro and Eriksen, and his use of defensive wing-backs Mazraoui and Dalot, which he felt doomed the team against Newcastle’s formidable midfield trio.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Neville admitted he doubted United’s chances even before kick-off and questioned whether the board would stick with Amorim. He added that while the club is likely to support him through the January transfer window, financial constraints under Financial Fair Play (FFP) may limit meaningful reinforcements. A major squad overhaul is expected in the summer.

United currently sit 14th in the Premier League, only seven points above the relegation zone, with Amorim acknowledging their relegation battle. Neville concluded by describing the defeat as a predictable outcome, criticizing the team’s imbalance and poor preparation.
