BeIN presenter Richard Keys insists that Ruben Amorim is âtrying to get the sackâ at Man Utd after only a few weeks in the job at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils are 13th in the Premier League table after a 2-2 draw against arch-rivals Liverpool on Sunday with their performance giving fans hope for the rest of the season.
Man Utd have had a terrible campaign so far with the Red Devils winning just six of their 20 Premier League matches this term.
Amorim has struggled to get consistent results out of Man Utd after replacing the sacked Erik ten Hag in mid-November at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese head coach has only managed four wins in 12 matches in all competitions with two of those victories coming in the Europa League against Bodo/Glimt and Viktoria Plzen.
And, before their draw against Liverpool on Sunday, Keys claimed that Amorim is attempting to get himself the sack at Man Utd.
Speaking on beIN Sports, Keys said: âHe doesnât have to say heâs wrong about his tactics.

âWhat he has to say is: âI believe in the system, I believe this is the future for Man Utd, but right now, with the personnel I have, Iâm not getting the success or result required to give us the breathing space we need.
âWhat heâs actually said is that his players are scared. They are scared because they canât work the system.
âLetâs say, he should say: âLetâs put the handbrake on for the next five or six games because Iâm a good coach. I have got Plan B.â
âMy conclusion at that point is that heâs actually trying to get the sack.â

Keys later doubled down on his claim about Amorim, he said:Â âGraham Potter did exactly that at Chelsea. He was gone in no time.
âI remember when Manchester United got relegated. I watched it. And there are similarities with this season, let me tell you!â
Man Utd legend Gary Neville thought the Red Devils produced their best performance of the Amorim era and thought they âfully deservedâ to come away from Anfield with a point.
Neville said on Sky Sports: âItâs the best performance I think under Ruben Amorim, maybe all season by a mile.
âTo come to Anfield, the best team in the league this year, it surpasses that victory at (Manchester) City the other week. City were in a bad moment and the way the game went, they were a little fortunate to get the victory.
âI thought United were magnificent from minute one. They fully deserved [the draw].â
