Gareth Southgate Tipped To Replace Ruben Amorim At Manchester United Amid Struggles

Veteran football analyst Richard Keys has proposed Gareth Southgate as the most suitable candidate to take over from Ruben Amorim at Manchester United, should the club opt for a managerial change following a turbulent Premier League season.

Amorim’s tenure at Old Trafford has been under increasing scrutiny after Manchester United suffered their 15th league defeat, falling 1-0 to Wolverhampton Wanderers. This recent loss leaves them languishing in 14th position, with just five games left in the current campaign.

Speaking on beIN SPORTS, Keys questioned the club’s confidence in Amorim’s leadership and spending efficiency, especially after heavy investments have yielded poor results.

“Would you trust Amorim to rebuild Manchester United with another £250 million based on current performances?” Keys questioned.
“My answer? Gareth Southgate,” he declared.

Why Gareth Southgate?

Keys elaborated on why the former England national team coach would be a strategic appointment:

He has led England to two European Championship finals, including Euro 2024, where the team finished runners-up to Spain.
Southgate is known for his exceptional rapport with modern footballers, understanding their mental and emotional needs.
Keys praised his ability to motivate and his strategic manipulation skills, making him an ideal fit for a top-tier club seeking a cultural and tactical rebuild.

“He knows how to make modern players feel connected with their football, their team, and the club,” Keys added.

Current Situation at Manchester United

With poor results stacking up, many fans and analysts are speculating about the future of Amorim. The Portuguese manager recently acknowledged his own shortcomings, admitting he has been the most error-prone member of the squad this season.
