Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 62021, member: 636"] Manchester United executives have compiled a shortlist of three potential replacements as pressure mounts on manager Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese coach faces mounting criticism after United suffered defeats in four of seven contests across all competitions this season. Club officials reportedly view Gareth Southgate, the former England manager, as a leading candidate for the position. Southgate previously declined United's interest when the club appointed Amorim in November 2024, but minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has renewed discussions with the former national team boss. Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner and Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola complete the trio of candidates under consideration. The development suggests United leadership has lost confidence in Amorim's ability to reverse the team's poor form. [/QUOTE]
