'Do what Sheffield United have done!' – Man Utd urged to 'swallow pride' and bring back former manager to replace under-fire Ruben Amorim

Manchester United have been told to take a leaf out of Sheffield United's book and re-hire one of their former managers. The Championship side sacked Chris Wilder in June before recalling him this week for a third stint and now the Red Devils are being urged to sack head coach Ruben Amorim and bring back an Old Trafford favourite as soon as possible.

Wilder guided Sheffield Utd to a third-placed finish last season before losing in the play-off final to , something that cost him his job a few weeks later. Ruben Selles replaced the ex- boss but he was dismissed earlier this week after losing all six of his Championship games in charge. Following Wilder’s return to the Blades, have been urged to do something similar.

Former player Jamie O’Hara believes that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the right man for United amid Amorim’s struggles. He even thinks they could get relegated under the Portuguese.

O’Hara said on talkSPORT: “This is the worst Man United team I’ve seen. Honestly. I can’t believe Ruben Amorim is still in charge, honestly, when are they going to let it go? When are they going to just…do what have done, just swallow their pride [and say] ‘we got this wrong?’ Get Ole [Gunnar Solskjaer] back…get Ole back in. They can’t carry on doing this. They’ll go down. They’ll be playing Rotherham next season.”

Red Devils icon Solskjaer led the side to sixth and second-place finishes, along with reaching the 2021 final, before being sacked in November 2021. Despite being let go by last month, O’Hara backed him to do better than the current man in charge, with United currently 14th in the Premier League.

Amorim reportedly has just three games to save his United job, even though the Red Devils would have to pay him a hefty compensation package if sacked in that time. The 40-year-old will be under huge pressure to get a result at home to on Saturday after overseeing the club’s worst start to a Premier League season in 33 years.
