The former Sky Sports pundit is convinced that Amorim has one goal in mind at United, but that it will be difficult to achieve. Richard Keys has shared more details about his somewhat strange theory about Ruben Amorim’s first three months as Manchester United manager.
Earlier this week, former Sky Sports presenter Keys shared his bizarre conspiracy theory about Amorim, which led to significant backlash from fans.
Keys claimed that Amorim’s recent comment claiming that his United team was the worst in the club’s history, combined with the results, proved that the Portuguese manager is trying to get fired just months after joining United.
But despite reactions, Keys has decided to “double down” on his wild theory and shared further details about exactly why Amorim hopes to be fired.
Although Amorim has now apologised for his comments following the 3-1 Premier League loss to Brighton, Keys remains convinced that the 39-year-old is desperate to leave United.
And should United decide to part ways with Amorim, the expert believes he knows exactly who the club will bring in to replace him: “Best informed guess re-United. They wanted Amorim, but not 3-4-3. Had to kick ETH and accept it.
“Amorim lost players when he called them s***. He wants out. Cheaper to replace him than to spend £1 billion on players to play his system.
“He walks. PR king Gareth Southgate takes over. Let’s see.”
Ahead of the Europa League match against Rangers this week, Amorim admitted that he regretted his previous comments and that they came from a place of self-criticism, and that he did not come out against his players.
“First of all, I want to talk about how [his comment] I spoke more for myself than for my players, because you have to find a coach who starts a job and loses seven games in the first 10. So it’s more to me, I talked more about me than the players,” Amorim said on Wednesday.
“Sometimes it’s really hard to hide your frustration for a few moments. But the good thing is that I said the same things in a different way in the dressing room five minutes before. So the response was pretty normal, because I’m very blunt with my players.
“I’m a young guy and sometimes I can make mistakes. That’s why I don’t like to talk after the game. I had to talk, and maybe it was a mistake. And then I get more nervous and go to the conference really nervous. And then you say things you shouldn’t say.
