Club great insists Manchester United struggles ‘not the manager’s problem’ | OneFootball

Bryan Robson has insisted that Ruben Amorim is not to blame for Manchester United’s current plight and believes the club’s issues are a result of past mistakes.

Amorim has endured a tough time since replacing Erik ten Hag as head coach in November. United are currently 13th in the Premier League and have won just six of Amorim’s 18 league games in charge.

However, there has been small signs of improvement of late. The Red Devils are four unbeaten in the Premier League and have secured progress to the Europa League’s quarter-finals.

Former Manchester United captain Robson has backed Amorim as the ‘right man for the job’. He has called on the club to back the 40-year-old, who he insisted has inherited a poor squad.

“I think he’s doing well. I don’t think he took over a fantastic group of players,” Robson said in an exclusive interview with The Football Faithful, via Betselect.

“I meet the players occasionally at the training ground or the stadium. And they’re nice lads, but the ability can be better for some of them. That’s why we’re not at the top of the league or up there challenging. That’s not the manager’s problem; he’s just come in. That’s the club and the policy of who they’ve bought in the past and the money that they’ve spent.

“He’s trying to get the best out of the players. That’s the manager’s job. You’ve got to get the best out of the players playing for you. We’re slightly improving, and we have a lot of younger players now.

“The young signings from Arsenal (Obi and Heaven) look like decent players. We have to win things, and then that will improve our confidence in each other. We’ve got to do that as a football club now.

“I think he’s the right man for the job. We’ve had too many managers sacked. I did disagree with Dave Moyes’s decision to sack seven people at the club and bring seven in from Everton right from the start when he took over from Fergie. The United staff had won the Champions League.

“When a club takes on a new manager, a few people should come in with him: assistant manager and first-team coach, for example. It’s unfair on the players because it’s constantly changing around, and they don’t know where they stand. Everybody’s got a different opinion and a different way of working.”
