Manchester United gave Ten Hag almost 3 seasons to prove himself. The same will happen with Amorim. But, will United give Amorim the big funds that Ten Hag got to shop for players?
The problem with United giving this much time to bad coaches is because Sir Alex Ferguson didn't started with a title on the first year, and then became a legend if I remember correctly. I mean I do remember the part of him becoming legend correctly lol, I am just not sure if he started not so great, I think he didn't. That is why they think if they give coaches some good time, the coach can turn it around as well.
Plus, Erik Ten Hag got two cups, one of them is FA cup last year over City, so there was moments of brilliance by them as well, not like they were shocked to get this. This is why we need to remember ETH wasn't a good coach this year and he didn't improve a single bit, but he did had some good times there.
Ten Hag was given too much time and the punishment for failure was given too late. Ten Hag won 2 trophies but there were few people who were happy with the team's overall performance, so he was criticized. The management, who did not listen to the fans, decided to listen to the fans after the unsuccessful seasons. Now, the transfer budget they will give to the new manager is very important because there are very big deficiencies in the team and it is not easy for the team to recover.
Every manager can have unsuccessful seasons, but in big teams, managers cannot stay in office for too long after unsuccessful seasons. Manchester United was late in dismissing Ten Hag and this is what caused most of the criticism.
