During a post-match interview, Amorim hinted that he might leave the club if the board of directors lacks confidence in him. He stated that winning just one season in charge was not enough, and that he would be willing to step down without any financial compensation.
However, Merson believes that Amorim's comments suggest he is looking for a way out of the club. Amorim's willingness to resign without compensation implies that he wants to be released from his contract, which could be beneficial for Manchester United. The club can now consider parting ways with Amorim without incurring significant financial losses.
The team has had a disastrous season, with just six Premier League wins since Amorim took over in November. As a result, they face a summer of rebuilding, which Merson thinks will be challenging. Manchester United need to retain their best players, sell those who are no longer needed, and sign top talent, which will be difficult due to the lack of European football next season.
Merson believes that keeping their top players, such as Bruno Fernandes and young Alejandro Garnacho, is crucial. However, he thinks that many of the current players will remain with the team, and the club will need to take a chance on unproven players to strengthen their squad.
The defeat has made it clear that Manchester United need a significant overhaul, and Merson wonders if the club's reputation as a top destination for players is fading. In the past, many players wanted to join Manchester United, but Merson is unsure if that is still the case.
