MANAGERIAL POSITION AT BITTER RIVALS COULD

UNITED'S board will need to keep a keen eye on the managerial market in the coming weeks, in the event that they do decide to make a change in the dugout.

Ruben Amorim has been under pressure during his tenure so far, which recently hit the one-year mark, though some recent results have eased that somewhat.

A run of three successive wins in the Premier League, which turned into five unbeaten, hinted towards the possibility of the side kicking on - though a recent defeat to ten-men Everton raised some further concerns.

While the jury is still out on whether Amorim will succeed at United, a decision over his future may have to be made sooner rather than later, all because of their rivals, Liverpool.

The Merseyside outfit have been on a wretched run of form, losing nine of their past 12 games across all competitions, the latest of which was a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of PSV Eindhoven.
