Ian Wright suggests missing Champions League is perfect for Manchester United
- Ruben Amorim's first match as Manchester United's manager ended in a 1-1 draw.
- Ian Wright believes Amorim should be allowed time to settle in and implement his strategies.
- Wright suggests that finishing in sixth place would be ideal for Manchester United this season.
In a recent commentary, Ian Wright discussed the performance of Manchester United under new manager Ruben Amorim in the English Premier League. Amorim, who was previously with Sporting Lisbon, failed to secure a win in his debut match, resulting in a 1-1 draw against newly-promoted Ipswich. Wright commented that despite this setback, Amorim should be given time to implement his style of play, especially considering Manchester United's position at 14th in the league. He opined that finishing in sixth place for the season would represent an ideal outcome for the club as it navigates through this transitional phase with a new coach. Wright’s remarks are particularly notable in light of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s emphasis on the importance of qualifying for the Champions League for financial fair play considerations.
