Fabrizio Romano shares what he's now heard on Man Utd hiring 'best young coach in the world' to replace Amorim

Manchester United is reportedly considering the appointment of Andoni Iraola, as Ruben Amorim has struggled to motivate his team. Fabrizio Romano has shared an update on this matter in his exclusive GIVEMESPORT newsletter.

The season has begun disappointingly for United, further exacerbated by a 3-0 defeat in the derby against their rivals, Manchester City, over the weekend. Amorim is facing mounting pressure at Old Trafford, as it appears they are on track for another challenging season based on their initial performances.

Should United’s current form persist, Amorim will find himself without justification if he is dismissed from his position. This would not be a hasty decision from United, as the Portuguese manager has failed to enhance his team’s performance since his arrival nearly a year ago.

Fabrizio Romano: Iraola to Man Utd Update

Writing in his exclusive GIVEMESPORT newsletter, Romano has confirmed that Manchester United are not changing their manager at the moment, so any links with Bournemouth boss Iraola are just speculation.

Answering whether there is any truth with United eyeing Iraola as a potential replacement for Amorim, Romano said:

“Nothing about names now, at the moment Man United are not changing the coach so all the rest is speculation. If something changes with Amorim, we’ll see who they pick.”

Iraola, who has been described as “the best young coach in the world” by Sam Tighe, has done a superb job at Bournemouth, and there’s no doubt he would be on the list of many Premier League clubs needing a manager if he became available in the near future.

Despite losing three of their starting back four in the summer transfer window, the Cherries haven’t dropped off, winning three of their opening four Premier League games as they sit in fourth position.

Whether Iraola would leave Bournemouth for United remains to be seen anyway, and the Manchester club will have to consider the financial implications. Not only will they need to pay off Amorim and his staff in order to sack him, if they want to bring in a manager already contracted to a club, they’ll have to put their hands in their pockets to do so.
