It’s been a busy week at Old Trafford. Erik Ten Hag has finally gone, and Sporting’s Ruben Amorim looks set to replace him as Manchester United manager.
In this episode, we find out why the 39-year-old might just be the person to get things right at Old Trafford after a number of false dawns. But how exactly will he get things moving at a club that has stalled for so long?
Troy returns alongside Henry Winter to discuss these key issues and more, including why new owners INEOS cut ties with their manager just 115 days after awarding him a new contract. Of course, they delve deep into the other key factors behind Ten Hag’s downfall, including the failure to instil a clear playing style, his terrible and expensive recruitment, and even his weak media persona. Henry argues that while Ten Hag undoubtedly had his weaknesses, he was also let down by the Glazers.
And with Amorim’s arrival imminent, we explore what he’ll bring to United and what it will take for him to deliver consistent success, from changing infrastructure to developing an identity. So, is Amorim the right man to lead United forward? Does his experience in Portugal set him up for success in the Premier League? Find out here, in the latest episode of Three Up Front.
