      Ruben Amorim tipped for Man Utd exit with ’embarrassing’ club ‘so much worse under him’

      by

      ALAN SHEARER suggested Ruben Amorim may be sacked after Manchester United’s “embarrassing” Europa League heartbreak.United saw their Champions League hopes go up in flames after losing 1-0 to Tottenham on Wednesday’s final at San Mames following an uninspiring performance.Ruben Amorim may be sacked after Manchester United’s “embarrassing” Europa League heartbreakAlan Shearer believes Man Utd are ‘so much worse’ now under AmorimMan Utd are now set for their worst ever Premier League finish as well as a 2025-26 campaign without European football and that has raised questions regarding Amorim’s future at Old Trafford.The Portuguese tactician sensationally claimed he would walk away with no pay-off if the Red Devils’ board and fans decide his time is up.However, the 40-year-old still has support from the powers that be and is expected to rebuild with a massive squad overhaul despite missing out on a £100million windfall.Nevertheless, Shearer, 54, wouldn’t be surprised if the ex-Sporting Lisbon boss was let go.Read More on Man UtdThe Premier League’s record goalscorer insists the Manchester giants are “so much worse” now under Amorim than what they were before his arrival in November.United were seven points off a Champions League spot when the Portuguese boss took over but now are a remarkable TWENTY SEVEN points off fifth spot.Shearer told Betfair: “There will be a lot of questions around Ruben Amorim’s future now and very much like the Spurs situation, it wouldn’t surprise me if he wasn’t the manager at the beginning of the season. Whether that’s his choice or not, I guess.”I’ve said it so many times, there’s no way he’s gone into that football club and expected what he found. Most read in FootballJoin SUN CLUB for the Man Utd Files every Thursday plusin-depth coverage and exclusives from Old Trafford”There’s no way he thought it was that bad. He couldn’t have, because I’m not sure you’d go.”He hasn’t helped the situation. They’ve actually got so much worse under him. Ruben Amorim vows to QUIT Man Utd if horror slump continues as dejected boss identifies ‘most dangerous thing’ at club”It might have been papering over the cracks if they had won the Europa League, but their problems were summed up in that 97 minutes: no creativity, no legs, no energy, no goals, and a complete mess.”Shearer didn’t hold back when discussing United’s overall performance in the Europa League Final.The Newcastle legend dubbed Man Utd’s display as an “embarrassment” that exposed how all their transfer money was wasted.Shearer added: “Manchester United were relying on a centre-half, with long balls into the box in the last 15 or 20 minutes of the game, and that sort of sums up who and what they’ve come to.”It’s a pretty embarrassing situation when you’re looking to a centre-half to rescue you, as he did in the semi-final and a couple of times by playing in that centre-forward position.”That’s who and what Man United have come to now. That’s the embarrassing thing; the money they’ve spent, especially on strikers, yet they’re chucking a centre-half up front for the last 15 minutes of the game and launching long balls up to him. That’s how bad Man United are.”Man Utd ratings: Diallo best player in Europa League final but Hojlund out of his depthAMAD DIALLO’S fizzing first-half display was little consolation for Manchester United in a dismal 1-0 Europa League final loss to Tottenham.Rasmus Hojlund’s plight up front continued in one of the worst European showpieces for many years – as both sides showed why they will finish in the Premier League lower reaches.Spurs clinched it from virtually their first opportunity – on 42 minutes.Brennan Johnson bundled in Pape Sarr’s inswinging cross, with United left-back Luke Shaw also getting a touch on the way.The Red Devils dictated possession more and more after the break, with Leny Yoro stretching to test Guglielmo Vicario from a free-kick.But United’s chances only arrived regularly in the final quarter of a patchy contest.The Red Devils belatedly piled on the pressure in the seven minutes of stoppage time, but Spurs just held on.Here’s how SunSport’s Dave Courtnadge rated United on a miserable night individually and collectively for Ruben Amorim’s men… More

      Ruud van Nistelrooy ‘to leave Leicester at end of season with two names in frame to replace Man Utd icon after 6 months’

      by

      RUUD VAN NISTELROOY is set to leave Leicester at the end of the season – with two names in the running to replace him. The Manchester United legend will only have lasted six months in charge after replacing Steve Cooper. Ruud van Nistelrooy is set to leave Leicester at the end of the seasonCredit: AFPBut with the club relegated to the Championship, the Foxes have decided to part ways with Van Nistelrooy, according to Sky Sports.Russell Martin and Danny Rohl are the two leading names primed to take over at Leicester. But the club are said to be reluctant to progress talks with either out of respect for Van Nistelrooy. The Daily Mail report that Martin – sacked by Southampton in December – is the Foxes’ No1 target to replace Van Nistelrooy. READ MORE IN football He took the Saints to the Premier League via the play-offs in 2024. And his experience in gaining promotion to the top-flight is said to have been appealing to Leicester chiefs. But any incoming Foxes manager faces starting the season with a point deduction after a major legal call went against the club.But the King Power Stadium side will NOT be punished for their PSR breach in the 2022-23 season – which could have meant a second points loss.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSLeicester claimed a major win over Prem chiefs in September when an Appeals Board agreed that they could not be punished for their 2022-23 breach because it was not confirmed until AFTER they had formally rejoined the EFL.The club’s accounts for the three years up to their relegation season saw a PSR loss of £124.5m, £19.5m above the £105m threshold.Emotional Leicester fans say ‘delete this’ as club share pics of Jamie Vardy packing his things into a cardboard boxBut Leicester put back their accounting period by one month to the end of June – after their Prem “share” had been transferred to Luton.While a Prem Commission ruled that the League did have jurisdiction, that ruling was set aside by the Appeal body.And now an Arbitration Tribunal, consisting of two Law Lords and a senior KC, has ruled that although the Appeal Board was “wrong” to make that decision, it did not add up to the “perverse interpretation of the law” required for the decision to be revoked.That was a win for Leicester, but was swiftly followed by a defeat that seems certain to impact them next term.In a similar conflict, Leicester claimed that they could not be punished for their breach of the EFL PSR loss limit of £83m in 2023-24, arguing that they were not formally under investigation before they were promoted back to the Prem.But the Arbitration Tribunal ruled that the March 1 letter from EFL legal and financial eagles noting the forecast loss above the £83m threshold meant it “was subject to an investigation by the EFL into an alleged breach”.In response to that decision, which gave it the green light for action, a Prem spokesman said: “Following an Arbitration Tribunal’s decision concerning jurisdiction, Leicester City FC has now been referred to an independent Commission for alleged breaches of:“The EFL Championship Profit and Sustainability Rules (P&S Rules) for Season 2023/24.’Leicester loophole’“The club’s obligation to provide its Annual Accounts to the Premier League by 31 December 2024.“The club’s obligation to provide full, complete and prompt assistance to the Premier League in response to the League’s inquiries.”It means a Prem commission will now rule on the punishment – but any points deduction imposed WILL be applied in the Championship.Clubs in both leagues agreed an alignment of financial rules last month as the “Leicester loophole” was closed.An EFL spokesman said: “The EFL notes that the Premier League has today referred Leicester City to an independent Commission for an alleged breach of Profit and Sustainability Rules for the period ending season 2023/24.“The EFL commenced an investigation into this reporting period following the March 2024 submissions and as is permitted in accordance with EFL Regulations, jurisdiction for that passed to the Premier League at the conclusion of the 2023/24 season on the Club’s promotion.“We will now await the outcome of the Premier League proceedings and until then are not able to comment any further on the matter.”Leicester responded by saying the club was “pleased” at the outcome of the 2022-23 proceedings but conceded: “The Premier League was successful in establishing jurisdiction on one of the two grounds argued with respect to the assessment period ending FY24.“The Premier League has now referred this to an independent Commission.Read More on The Sun“Consistent with its previous commitments, the Club intends to engage cooperatively in this matter now that the Premier League’s jurisdiction has been established for the period ending FY24.“However, we will not be able to comment further on these proceedings until they are concluded, due to their confidential nature.”Leicester face a points deduction next seasonCredit: Getty More
