Liverpool once considered appointing coach Amorim to replace Jurgen Klopp but ultimately rejected it because they did not want to spend too much money on a personnel revolution.

Arriving at Old Trafford with great expectations, coach Ruben Amorim has not been able to make a difference for MU after 4 months in charge. That is clearly shown on the Premier League rankings when the Red Devils are ranked 14th with 33 points.

In addition, MU was also eliminated from the Carabao Cup and FA Cup. They can only look forward to the Europa League to save a disappointing season. Not only fans, MU players are also starting to doubt the Portuguese strategist.

According to the Sunday Times, the situation at Old Trafford will not improve if INEOS does not provide a transfer fund estimated at around 400 million pounds for coach Amorim to build the team according to the 3-4-3 formation that this coach chose.

This requirement is almost impossible for MU, especially when they are having to cut spending to balance the books. In fact, since the era of coach Sir Alex, the Red Devils have spent about £1.6 billion to rebuild the squad under the reigns of Moyes, Van Gaal, Mourinho, Solskjaer, Rangnick and Ten Hag.

From the above analysis, the Sunday Times emphasized that this is the reason why Liverpool rejected coach Ruben Amorim after considering him as the number 1 candidate to replace coach Jurgen Klopp.

Adaptability is something that CEO Michael Edwards must consider when considering coach Amorim. For his part, sporting director Richard Hughes wants to ensure that Liverpool will appoint a coach who can develop coach Jurgen Klopp’s system instead of eliminating and revolutionizing it.

Finally, Edwards, Hughes and Will Spearman – Liverpool’s research director – identified coach Arne Slot as a coach with a similar philosophy to coach Jurgen Klopp. As for coach Amorim, this coach’s 3-center-back formation will force Liverpool to make major personnel changes.

Liverpool’s managers made the right decision because in fact, coach Arne Slot has made great use of the resources left by coach Klopp. In the 2024/25 season, The Reds only recruited one player for 10 million pounds, Federico Chiesa – a player who did not contribute much to the playing style of the port city team.

Although he was once doubted, coach Arne Slot has brought Liverpool closer to the 20th English football championship. In addition, he also brought The Reds to the Carabao Cup final. In the Champions League arena, the port city team is highly appreciated in the championship race after an impressive performance in the ranking round.
