I hope Amorim don't continue giving excuses next season because we are assuming that Ten Hag messed up with the United team before Amorim took over and now that Amorim has been given the opportunity of signing new players to boost his squad he should do and excellent job and get the team working again. Last season is over and no one is judging him by the performance of the team again but he has to task himself and the new player to do well and work to ensure they get back to top4 that should be his major targets next season.
That's right, Ruben Amorim now has the opportunity to overhaul the squad depth to suit his strategic needs. If Ruben Amorim feels some of Ten Hag legacy players aren't worth retaining, the transfer window is still open, he just needs to encourage them to find new clubs. That way, whatever results Manchester United achieves next season, Ten Hag will have nothing to do with them.
Manchester United will only be focused on domestic competitions next season since they're not in any European competition, so Ruben Amorim job will be a bit easier. The chance to finish in the top four is open for Manchester United, Ruben Amorim career will be on the line if they fail to achieve it.
