Alex Crook opened up about Manchester United's managerial situation in the summer.
Journalist Alex Crook has revealed that Manchester United turned down the opportunity to sign Ruben Amorim as the club's manager in the summer. Speaking on talkSPORT, he said the move to hold on to Erik ten Hag before switching to the Portuguese boss indicated a lack of confidence in the latter.
He said:
“Also, I know this for a fact, that ownership were offered Ruben Amorim in the summer when they were doing a beauty parade of different managers."
He added:
“They were speaking to Roberto De Zerbi, Kieran McKenna, Thomas Tuchel and they said no to Amorim because his style didn’t fit this Man United squad. They then hired him X amount of weeks later. It doesn’t fill you with confidence, does it?”
