Gary Neville tells Ruben Amorim to 'get a grip' on Man United, cites Mikel Arteta as example
"Someone's got to get a grip of that club, and I think it has to be the manager. Ruben, you've got to get a grip of that club," Gary Neville said on The Overlap as he called on Ruben Amorim to act decisively to overhaul the Man United team.
"Mikel Arteta's done a great job at Arsenal. From day one, he imprinted his standards on the club, he put the coaching systems in place, there's been progression all the way through, and he's got five years now under his belt, six years under his belt.
"Ruben Amorim needs to look at next season, how he gets into the top six, how he basically wipes half that squad out, how he transforms it into a dynamic team that plays exciting football from the rigid stuff that we're currently watching, and he needs to think about which players in that dressing room can do a job for him.
"Because if the players are starting to question their own belonging in that dressing room, you've got a huge problem."
This will be the first summer transfer window for Amorim as the Man United head coach, and the club plans to rebuild the squad to better fit his vision. However, their finances have taken a hit as they were unable to qualify for European competitions.
