Ben Foster claimed Ruben Amorim is “living on borrowed time” after United’s poor start, including an early Carabao Cup exit and unconvincing league form. Despite beating Chelsea, pressure mounts after last season’s 15th-place finish and Europa League heartbreak against Tottenham.

Teddy Sheringham has urged Manchester United to appoint Gareth Southgate if Ruben Amorim is sacked, arguing the ex-England boss could “restructure the whole place.” United have just two wins from five games after finishing 15th last season. Despite heavy summer spending on Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, and Bryan Mbeumo, United sit 11th in the table and crashed out of the Carabao Cup to fourth-tier Grimsby. Sheringham believes Southgate’s leadership and experience make him the steadying figure Old Trafford needs.
