"Big personality": Roy Keane identifies perfect successor for Amorim at Man Utd

There have been many rumours about Ruben Amorim's possible sacking due to the deplorable results at Manchester United. Some former players and the club's legends have already given their verdict, calling for the Portuguese coach's boot. However, Sir Jim Ratcliffe indicated he could provide Amorim three years to turn things around.

Still, it didn't stop the public discussion about the possible replacement for the least successful United manager in decades.

Former Red Devils captain Roy Keane is certain of the man he wants to see in the Old Trafford dugout.

"I've said it for years. I'd like Atletico Madrid's (Diego) Simeone to go in there. I'd like to see him go there. I know his mate has gone to Arsenal [Andrea Berta]," he told the Stick to Football podcast.

"I think he would just create havoc, but good havoc. He'd rock up to that place. No guarantees, but I'd just like to see his personality, his track record.

"People might think about the styles of football, but they scored five against Real Madrid last weekend. He doesn't like his teams giving up too many goals or chances, but they can play a bit and fight.

"At Liverpool a few weeks ago, the team aren't as great as few years ago, but they still had fighting spirit. He's on the sideline, he got sent off that night, I'd like a big personality."

Keane, however, explained it doesn't mean he's pushing for Amorim to be handed his termination letter just yet.

"I'd still say give the man a chance, absolutely. Another week," he joked.
