Paul Scholes has expressed caution to Manchester United regarding a potential rush to appoint Ruben Amorim as the club’s next manager. Amid rising pressure on Erik ten Hag, speculation has grown about Amorim, the highly-regarded Sporting Lisbon coach, as a potential candidate for the Old Trafford hot seat.

Scholes, a former Manchester United midfielder and club legend, believes that the club should be careful in its decision-making, particularly when it comes to young managers with relatively limited experience in major European leagues. Amorim, at just 39, has shown promise in Portugal, guiding Sporting to their first league title in nearly two decades in 2021 and impressing with his tactical knowledge and ability to nurture young talent. However, Scholes highlighted that managing a club of United’s scale is vastly different, with added pressures and expectations.

“The Premier League is a different beast altogether,” Scholes said, noting that any manager stepping into United would face intense scrutiny and the challenge of rebuilding the club’s recent inconsistent form. He added that United should be wary of appointing a manager who, despite strong domestic achievements, might struggle with the demands of the Premier League’s intensity and a club with global expectations.
Scholes advised United to prioritize experience and a proven track record, suggesting that the club avoid hasty decisions that could lead to another managerial turnover. Although he acknowledged Amorim’s potential, Scholes urged the club’s board to conduct a thorough evaluation and not be swayed by short-term trends. With the stakes high for United, Scholes believes that the next managerial decision will be crucial to the club’s future success, advocating for patience and a careful assessment of all candidates.
