On the previous Sunday, United was defeated by Crystal Palace by a score of 2-0, marking their fifth loss in a span of seven matches played at home.
As a consequence of the result, the Red Devils are currently occupying the thirteenth spot in the Premier League table.
In the latter part of the month of January, Keys made the assertion that Amorim was attempting to be fired from his position at Old Trafford. He was adamant that United should fulfil his request in that manner.
These remarks were made by Keys after United suffered a defeat at the hands of Brighton and Hove Albion by a score of 3-1.
The belief that Amorim regrets taking over for Erik ten Hag in the Old Trafford dugout has been reaffirmed by Keys, who has indicated that he believes Amorim holds this belief.
According to what he wrote on his blog, “There is not much to say about United this week because…” Wasn’t it miserable once more?
“However, it is always the case when they are required to play a game against the opposition. Providing that they are positioned in a low block and preventing the opposing team from playing, they are in a good position.
As a result of the fact that they have now lost seven games at home, they struggle when they are required to travel to play against other teams.
He went on to say, “What about playing Mainoo as a false nine? Additionally, you have the option of using Hojlund and Zirkzee. What exactly are you trying to convey to those players by making a decision from that standpoint?
I am concerned that Amorim appears to be completely out of his element. Even though I really wanted it to work, it isn’t. But if he wants to keep his job, he is going to have to make some adjustments and learn new things quickly. Even now, I’m not entirely certain that he doesn’t want to leave already.
The fourth round of the FA Cup will take place on Friday, and United will be back in action when they play host to Leicester City, which is coached by Ruud van Nistelrooy.
