Former Super Eagles midfielder, John Mikel Obi, has stated that Ruben Amorim cannot resolve Manchester United's issues.
Mikel Obi, during his podcast, also described it as “foolishness” for Amorim to adhere to a tactical system that is ineffective.
Despite investing approximately €200 million in new forwards, United has had difficulty making an impact this season.
The Red Devils have managed to win only two of their first six league matches, suffering three defeats.
They were also knocked out of the Carabao Cup by fourth-tier team, Grimsby Town.
Calls for Amorim to abandon his preferred 3-4-3 tactical formation have grown louder in recent weeks.
“The issues are far too extensive for him to handle; he cannot resolve them. His energy is influencing the players,” Mikel Obi remarked.
“His unwillingness to change his lineup is not a sign of stubbornness; it is foolishness. Top managers adapt, just look at Pep Guardiola as an example.
“Now, when teams come to face Manchester United, they know how to prepare. When Manchester United is trailing, he needs to make adjustments and change the formation.”
