Alan Shearer has openly pondered if Ruben Amorim has lodged a complaint to the Manchester united hierarchy about the calibre of his team following their humiliating 3-0 loss to Bournemouth
which saw them schooled by a vibrant Cherries side, making it two consecutive 3-0 victories for Bournemouth at Old Trafford and leaving United locked in 13th in the premier league table.
Amorim, who arrived in Manchester last month after Erik ten Hag’s dismissal, hasn’t been able to turn around United’s wavering fortunes, as evidenced by their recent elimination from one contest after just the previous week.
Given the Red Devils’ lacklustre performances under the 39-year-old Portuguese coach, Shearer has been left to speculate whether he has expressed concerns to the club’s board about the squad’s deficiencies.

He added: “He’s got a huge job on his hands.” Meanwhile Amorim pinpointed anxiety as a factor dragging down his teams performances. “I think the understanding of our game is a lot about mentality, you can feel it in the first goal-kick from [Andre] Onana, he is thinking what to do, trying to push the other guys – and everybody is so anxious
