Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann supports Ruben Amorim in reviving Manchester United as contenders for the Premier League title, but cautions that it will require “two or three years.” United faced their fourth consecutive defeat across all competitions on Monday night, falling 2-0 to Newcastle United at Old Trafford. It was their third consecutive league loss without a goal. Consequently, United is now in 14th place in the standings, seven points clear of the relegation zone. The gap could shrink to just four points by the time United plays Liverpool at Anfield at 4:30 PM on Sunday. Amorim, who was hired from Sporting Lisbon in November, acknowledges that United is now struggling to avoid relegation and emphasizes the urgent need for results. Despite this, United has shown flashes of the style of play he envisions for them during his initial 11 matches as manager. Hamann believes that Amorim has the ability to improve United’s situation, calling him a “special manager.” Speaking to BoyleSports, which provides the latest Premier League odds, Hamann asked, “Can Ruben Amorim make a similar impact as Slot and Maresca?” I definitely believe he can make them play well. At the moment, their squad isn’t strong enough, but he made a big decision to bench [Marcus] Rashford and [Alejandro] Garnacho, and it proved to be successful. He’s an exceptional manager, and his style of play in both the Champions League and League has been impressive. “I believe he will restore United to its former glory, and for the first time, they have a manager who can improve their situation.” They require some improvements, but they’re two or three years from clinching the league title.
