Sean Dyche wants Man Utd job & says he’d be better than Amorim

Harry Warner

“He better win some games pretty quick. I’d win more games.”

Sean Dyche has claimed that if he had the Man United job, he’d do a better job than Ruben Amorim.

Dyche is known for his rather classic English way of playing the beautiful game, and it has been proven time and time again to get results.

He’s also known for his openly candid and no nonsense approach to football, and speaking on the Overlap this was no different.

The panel found themselves discussing the current state of Manchester United, languishing in 16th place in the Premier League.

Dyche reckons he has the solution, giving his pitch on the popular podcast.

He said:” He’s not going to change the way he plays. He [Ruben Amorim] better win some games – pretty quick. 

“I reckon if I went there and played my way, we’d win more games. Just 4-4-2 – give them basic rules of principles.

“We’re all going, “Fair play” – but, he’s been there a while now so you better start bringing some wins soon.”

He added: “Howard Wilkinson had a great saying, he said, “Win, survive, succeed”. Basically, you have to win first, and then you can survive because you’re winning, and then success is when you do lay down all your principles and your playing style. 

“So, if he can win enough, which is the worry at the minute, and then survive the process, and then succeed – then that’s going to be better.’

Dyche went on to talk about what it would be like manage a club like United.

He said: “It was always Manchester United because of the size of the club, not because it’s Man U – but due to the sheer grandeur, particularly back then. 

“I know they are going through a tough run at the minute, but the whole worldwide feel of it. That’s a big superpowered club.”
