Man Utd has been accused of planning to install Gareth Southate as a new manager, but Ruben Amorim is still in charge as he reports that Sunderland’s match could be the last of the Portuguese head coach.
The Red Devils have not properly challenged the Premier League title since Iris Alex Ferguson left the club in 2013 and limped from one issue to the next.
Man Utd continues to appoint the wrong managers and recruit the wrong players, but the overall club structure has been under scrutiny recently.
Things haven’t improved since Iraq Jimuratcliffe and Ineos bought the club’s shares along with new co-owners who oversee the club’s worst season during the Premier League era.
Man Utd finished 15th in the Premier League table and missed in Europe after losing to Tottenham, who doesn’t like the Cup, which won the Europa League final.
Former Man City defender Joleon Lescott believes he hopes Man utd will change his opinion of Southgate by making it “very bad” under Amorim.

Speaking in the mixer, Lescott said:
“But they believe they are doing it badly now with Reuben Amorim and wanting Southgate.
At Southgate, Lescott added: “I think he’s definitely the perfect person for their transition and level of transition. How many people are talking about United’s culture?
“He revitalized the UK. It was more difficult than changing the culture of United. He brought the fans together. They weren’t always together from my experience.
“They didn’t. I’ve always wanted Chelsea fans to do well with the UK, and Liverpool fans to do well with the Liverpool players.
“Right now, the English fans are England fans. They want England to do well. I think Southgate is a man because of Manchester’s united perspective and cultural changes.”

TeamTalk friends have revealed that if “deep concerns” from club insiders lose to Sunderland over the weekend, “deep concerns” are likely to force change as they face “serious consequences” if he doesn’t get the right results.
Former Man UTD assistant manager Rene Meulensteen claims that the Premier League club is “broken in two ways” after a 3-1 loss to Brentford over the weekend.
In the No Tippy Tappy Footbol Podcast, Meulensteen said: “The clubs are broken in two ways, and you can see that everyone is broken on the pitch.
“If it was under (Thomas) Frank, you know you’re in a match against Brentford, he’ll throw the kitchen sink at you.
“Credit to Brentford. They have a game plan and they’ve been treated, so Manchester United have zero ability to turn it around to some degree. They’re broken there.
“The club is also broken off the field. I’m part of it, and the culture I built by Sir Alex is a great culture to participate in, it’s a family and everyone was there together.
“When Jim Ratcliffe came in, Jim Ratcliffe came in, who was completely stripped of the entire culture that had been built for 26 years, and was completely stripped of ownership and everything that happened in the background.”

Man Utd Forward Bryan Mbeumo admits that Amorim’s system is “not good” to get used to, but insists that players must take more responsibility.
Mbeumo told Sky Sports:
“Obviously, we’ve heard a lot, but it’s our responsibility to find good things and get better. I don’t think there’s anything about this system. It’s just us, we’re improving in certain areas.”
At the start of the season, Mbeumo continued: “I think everyone on the team needs to take responsibility. When you play for a club, everyone needs to know what to do. As a team, we need to do better.”
Speaking about his start at Old Trafford, Mbeumo said:
“Of course it gets better and we don’t play a lot together, so there are certain things to improve, there are different kinds of players, but it’s good to be with them.”
