Manchester United legend Bryan Robson has backed head coach Ruben Amorim to succeed at Old Trafford, but insists he needs three seasons before a proper judgement can be made. The former captain's comments echo those of co-owner Jim Ratcliffe, who recently stated the Portuguese manager would be given three years to prove himself.
Robson praised the summer signings of Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, describing them as quality players who will improve as the season progresses. He noted that the club has already made progress under Amorim, with a better style of play than last season.
Regarding captain Bruno Fernandes, who has faced criticism for his body language and tackling, Robson defended the midfielder, calling him a quality player who is humble and respected around the club. He argued that not all players need to crunch into tackles, as some are playmakers.
Manchester United currently sit fifth in the Premier League with five wins from 10 matches, just two points behind second-placed Manchester City. Robson believes the team can secure a European spot this season and perhaps even qualify for the Champions League, given their improved depth and the lack of European commitments reducing fixture congestion.
