Ruben Amorim can silence Gary Neville and Wayne Rooney with one thing at Man Utd

Manchester United legend Wes Brown has insisted that positive results will silence the doubters surrounding Ruben Amorim , as the manager faces scrutiny for persisting with his tactical philosophy.

Following a patchy beginning to the new Premier League campaign, United entered October's international window in buoyant mood after securing a 2-0 triumph over Sunderland at home. The victory provided some respite for the Red Devils boss, who has faced questions regarding his reluctance to abandon his favoured system.

United icons Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville are amongst some of his most vocal detractors of late. Rooney did, though, perform a U-turn after the Sunderland win, lauding the strategy employed in that match.

Ex-defender Brown has similarly commended Amorim for maintaining his convictions.

"If you get the result you need then your critics can't say anything anymore," he told 10bet Casino .

"If Amorim wins, there won't be any problems with the press.

"Bad results obviously brought some criticism from ex-players like Gary and Wazza - but what I like about Ruben is that he stuck to his guns and defended his methods. He carried on when it would have been easier to change.

"Instead, he's still getting the players to do what he wants, to understand their jobs. But, sometimes at United, and this is true for any team, it's 11 players against 11. It's not always the manager's fault, because they can't fix individual errors and mistakes.

"That happens in football, but I think it's been a particular problem at United in games. I think when they are cut out too, things will look up quickly."

Amorim is still on the hunt for his first consecutive wins as United boss. After triumphing over Sunderland, he has the opportunity to achieve this when his squad face off against fierce rivals Liverpool on Sunday.
