Amorim Sacking Exposes Manchester United's Power Struggle

The dismissal of head coach Ruben Amorim has created a crisis for Manchester United's leadership. High-paid executives who supported him now face difficult questions. Amorim's downfall began at a press conference last Friday. He was asked if football director Jason Wilcox had changed the January transfer budget. Amorim's reply was a sarcastic, "You are very smart." This followed a strange comment from Amorim on Christmas Eve. He said he was starting to "understand" the money was not there to sign players for his "perfect 3-4-3" formation. This was a major warning sign. The coach was openly admitting he could not use the tactical system he insisted on playing. The failure of Amorim's time in charge now puts the club's executives in the spotlight.
