News MU today 26/9: Amorim is about to lose his position; Ten Hag’s name surfaces again

Ruben Amorim faces a bleak future, coach Erik ten Hag is mentioned again due to an unexpected deal,... these are notable Manchester United news on 26/9.

Ruben Amorim is at risk of losing his job at MU

Ruben Amorim’s future at Manchester United is hotter than ever as former goalkeeper Ben Foster predicts the Portuguese coach has “only a few months” left at Old Trafford. Despite a recent win over Chelsea, the Red Devils remain in crisis after finishing 15th in the Premier League last season, losing to Tottenham in the Europa League final, and an early exit from this year’s League Cup.

Foster believes that just a streak of 2 to 4 losses will prompt the management to “take action.” He also mentioned Oliver Glasner, the impressive manager at Crystal Palace, as a potential replacement for Amorim, alongside Gareth Southgate, Marco Silva, and Mauricio Pochettino.

Rashford openly supports the “black sheep” Sancho

Jadon Sancho recently posted a promise on Instagram after the draw with Sunderland, affirming he will “hold his head high and make amends” during Aston Villa’s difficult period. Unai Emery’s team currently has only 3 points after 5 rounds, ranking 18th and eliminated from the League Cup.

Marcus Rashford immediately left a heart emoji under his former teammate’s post to show support and encouragement. Rashford played for Villa in the latter half of last season and helped convince Sancho to join Villa Park. This gesture shows he still cares deeply about his old club and Sancho’s form.

Ralf Rangnick hospitalized urgently due to surgery complications

Former MU coach Ralf Rangnick, currently leading Austria’s national team, has been hospitalized for an extended period after an infection following ankle surgery. He has undergone three operations in recent months to address joint wear and faced complications.

Due to declining health, Rangnick had to postpone announcing Austria’s squad for next month, with assistant Lars Kornetka temporarily taking over. Rangnick drew attention as MU’s interim coach in 2021 and later led Austria to top their Euro 2024 group. MU and Austrian fans are sending best wishes to the 67-year-old strategist.

Ten Hag’s name comes up as MU loses over 70 million Euros because of Carreras deal

According to TEAMtalk, transfer mistakes under Erik ten Hag caused MU to lose tens of millions of Euros. In January 2024, the Red Devils sent Alvaro Carreras to Benfica with a 6 million Euro buyout clause. After impressive performances, Benfica sold Carreras to Real Madrid for 50 million Euros, and now the 22-year-old rising star is valued at up to 80 million Euros.

Xabi Alonso praises his new signing “Makes very few mistakes, possesses excellent mental qualities”. If Ten Hag had given him a chance, MU might have had an outstanding left-back instead of losing him for nothing.
