Potter, Southgate, Silva in frame if Amorim loses Man United role

Manchester United could consider Graham Potter as doubts grow over Ruben Amorim’s future following the club’s poor result against Brentford

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is facing renewed uncertainty after another setback in the Premier League, with reports suggesting Graham Potter could be in line to replace him — www.isagoal.com reports.

Spanish outlet Fichajes revealed that Amorim’s position is once again under scrutiny after United’s defeat to Brentford, adding fuel to speculation over a possible managerial change.

Potter, who was recently dismissed by West Ham following a disappointing run, has emerged as a surprise candidate for the Old Trafford job.

His reputation was built during his time at Brighton, where his tactical style drew praise, but his fortunes dipped following a troubled spell at Chelsea and his short stay in East London.

Nuno Espirito Santo, who took over from Potter at West Ham earlier this season, was the first managerial casualty in the league, underlining how quickly the market is shifting.

Meanwhile, Teddy Sheringham has publicly backed former England boss Gareth Southgate as a strong option for United if Amorim departs.

Other names reportedly admired by the club hierarchy include Marco Silva, Oliver Glasner, and Andoni Iraola, leaving Potter further down the list.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe has previously expressed support for Amorim, but results have intensified the pressure on the Portuguese coach in recent weeks.

If United’s struggles continue, the board may be forced into another managerial decision sooner rather than later.
