Manchester United have been linked with a surprise move for Graham Potter, who has just been sacked by West Ham United.
According to a report from Fichajes, Manchester United are considering a move for the 48-year-old. He was very poor during his time at West Ham, and it is highly unlikely that Manchester United will make a move for him.
They have been linked with Potter in the past. He was considered a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag.
Graham Potter would be a shocking choice
As per the BBC, he had a 24% win rate as the West Ham United manager since joining the club in January 2025. It is clear that he is not the right fit for Manchester United, and they should look to aim higher.
Ruben Amorim has faced a lot of criticism in recent months, and it would not be a surprise if he is relieved of his duties soon. Manchester United finished in the bottom half of the league table last season, and they have picked up just two wins from six league matches this season. The results will need to change quickly if the Portuguese manager wants to hold onto his job.
He has been backed significantly in the transfer market, and it is time for him to deliver on the pitch.
Man United need an elite manager
If Manchester United decide to make a change, they should look to bring in an elite manager who has won major trophies at a big club. The expectations while managing a club like Manchester United are huge, and they need someone with considerable talent and experience.
It will be interesting to see if they can bring in a world-class candidate to replace the Portuguese manager. Amorim was highly rated across Europe before he joined Manchester United, but the move has clearly not worked out for either party. It would be ideal for them to part ways in the coming weeks.
