Overview
- BBC reporting, cited by Yahoo Sports, says Amorim has virtually disappeared from view and has not spoken publicly since his exit.
- Under interim boss Michael Carrick, United have climbed to third with seven wins, two draws and two losses in 11 matches.
- Amorim’s last game was a 1-1 draw at Leeds United followed by a heated news conference hinting at friction with sporting director Jason Wilcox.
- Subsequent reports describe rifts over using a 3-5-2 system and the club’s refusal to spend in the January transfer window.
- Portugal’s A Bola argues some of Amorim’s choices have been vindicated even as United’s short-term form has improved under Carrick, and links to Benfica remain unconfirmed.
