Unai Emery exposes exactly what Ruben Amorim is lacking with bold win vs Arsenal

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is under the scanner after a series of baffling in-game decisions.

His tactical missteps have played a major role in United scraping just one win from their last five Premier League fixtures.

He has been vocal about his staff stealing set-piece ideas from other teams.

We believe he should also start borrowing lessons on game-changing substitutions.

Aston Villa snatched a dramatic 2–1 victory over Arsenal courtesy of a 95th-minute strike from Emiliano Buendia.

At 1–1, with the game hanging in the balance, Unai Emery made the audacious call to withdraw right-back Matty Cash and throw on Buendia in the 87th minute.

Most managers would have been content with a respectable draw against the league leaders, but Emery refused to play it safe.

His fearless tactical switch delivered all three points and propelled Villa to third place.

This kind of bold, decisive coaching is exactly what Amorim has failed to show.

Against ten-man Everton, trailing 1–0 at Old Trafford, Amorim still managed to make only three substitutions.

His final change saw Patrick Dorgu replaced by Diogo Dalot, a swap that hardly screamed ambition.

Shea Lacey was right there on the bench, yet the manager refused to unleash a fresh attacking option.

On Thursday against West Ham, four of Amorim’s five substitutions were defensive.

When the Hammers equalised in the 83rd minute, he responded by sending on Lisandro Martinez for Luke Shaw.

Lacey was again made to watch from the bench.

Football is a results business. If Amorim cannot master the basics or show a shred of courage, he may simply not be the right man for this job.
