Former Premier League midfielder Danny Murphy has publicly criticized Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, holding him primarily responsible for the club’s rapid decline.
Murphy claims that Amorim's tactical obsession with a rigid system is severely limiting the creativity of United’s midfielders and dragging the team backwards.
Despite the presence of talented players, the team has experienced a prolonged winless run that has intensified criticism towards the Portuguese coach.
Murphy elaborates that the tactical setup under Amorim has turned Old Trafford into a barren ground for attacking ingenuity, stifling key players' ability to express themselves and influence games effectively.
This critique comes amidst mounting pressure on the manager ahead of a crucial Premier League clash against Burnley.
Fans and football experts alike are questioning whether Amorim’s approach aligns with the club's ambitions, given the disappointing results.
This growing discontent within the fan base reflects broader concerns about recruitment, strategy, and execution.
Without adjustments, United’s slide in form threatens to worsen, underscoring the urgency for change in tactical philosophy.
Murphy’s strong opinion highlights a fundamental issue at the heart of Manchester United’s ongoing struggles, emphasizing the need for a more flexible and creative approach to restore competitiveness and title hopes.
