Ruben Amorim has left Manchester United after 14 months in charge. The statistics from his reign make for grim reading.

One reason for the continued expectation on the shoulders of Amorim was United’s hefty transfer spend. For all the cost-cutting elsewhere, funding for new players has been in spritely supply under Sir Jim Ratcliffe: over £500million has been spent on new players in less than two years of his involvement.

Ruben Amorim has raised doubts over his future at Manchester United by saying he wants to be the "manager, not the coach."

Manchester United decided against signing Sporting CP midfielder Morten Hjulmand despite Ruben Amorim's request.

At Old Trafford, former midfielder and current Under-18s boss Darren Fletcher has taken over on an interim basis, while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Michael Carrick are two candidates to be hired as a caretaker manager until the end of the season, which is when a permanent successor to Amorim is expected to be appointed.

Plenty of thought will be given to outgoings. Roma are reportedly in talks over striker Joshua Zirkzee and midfielder Kobbie Mainoo also has interest from Serie A, although Amorim is reluctant to lose a player seen as valuable squad cover.
