Omar Berrada praises Ruben Amorim despite January sacking

Manchester United chief executive Omar Berrada praised former manager Ruben Amorim. The commendation came despite Amorim’s dismissal in January.

Amorim’s tenure ended after the club failed to secure a Champions League place. The previous season had seen United finish 15th in the league.

United also lost the Europa League final that season. The defeat compounded the campaign’s disappointment.

During his spell, Amorim removed Alejandro Garnacho, Antony, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho from the squad. The decisions were described as bold.

Berrada’s praise signals respect for Amorim’s decisive approach. It suggests the executive values the former manager’s willingness to overhaul the roster.
