Pereira Shines as Wolves Triumph, Amorim Struggles at United

Posted : 27 December 2024

Wolves manager Vitor Pereira sought to downplay comparisons between his early success at Wolves and the challenging start Ruben Amorim is experiencing at Manchester United. Following Wolves' 2-0 victory over United at Molineux, Pereira emphasized the collective effort of the teams rather than a personal rivalry.

 

 "It was not Vitor versus Ruben, it was Wolves versus Manchester United," he remarked. Pereira also expressed confidence in Amorim’s abilities, stating, "Ruben is a top coach in my opinion, and with time, he will show his level."

 

Despite Pereira's remarks, the contrasting fortunes of the two Portuguese coaches are hard to ignore. Since replacing Gary O'Neil, Pereira has led Wolves to back-to-back league victories, earning six points in two matches.

 

 In stark contrast, Amorim has only secured seven points in seven Premier League games since taking over at Manchester United. This record includes five defeats in his first ten matches across all competitions, marking the worst start for a new United coach since Walter Crickmer in 1932.

 

Crickmer’s record, while historically notable, belongs to a different era when managerial roles were less defined, as he stepped in twice as club secretary to oversee team affairs. Amorim’s role, though officially that of a coach under Manchester United’s new structure introduced by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, carries modern expectations. His performance is under intense scrutiny as he struggles to find solutions to the team's persistent defensive issues, particularly their vulnerability to set-pieces.

 

Amorim’s tenure highlights the challenges of adapting to a restructured management system while facing immediate demands for results. The pressure is mounting for him to reverse United’s fortunes, with critics pointing to his responsibility in addressing the team’s tactical weaknesses.

 

 Meanwhile, Pereira’s seamless transition at Wolves serves as a stark contrast, further underscoring the uphill battle Amorim faces in proving his capabilities at one of football’s most demanding clubs.
