Roy Keane claims Manchester United have already made Ruben Amorim contract mistake
Man Utd have announced Ruben Amorim will become their new head coach in the November international break.
Roy Keane believes Ruben Amorim should have signed a longer Manchester United contract if he is to have any chance of turning their fortunes around.
United announced this week the 39-year-old will become their new head coach to permanently replace Erik ten Hag during the upcoming international break, after he was quickly identified as their top target for the role.
Sporting coach Amorim has signed an initial contract until June 2027, which includes the option of an additional year at the discretion of the club, but United legend Keane believes it will take even longer if he is to have a fair opportunity to implement his approach.
"Ruben Amorim should have signed a longer contract," he told Sky Sports. ”There's a long way back for this team. This is an average Untied team, all the stats back it up. We are repeating ourselves, we don't know what we are going to get from them - it's hit and miss. This United team, boring, might be a bit strong. At the end it was a bit more open, but really disappointed - it was so flat. From the managers point of view, this team is way off it.
"A really disappointing performance. United are a bit average at everything and they are not special. The lack of goals is hard to believe. When you look at United, they play for moments. That's nowhere near good enough for a United team."
