As Manchester United gears up for a crucial derby against Manchester City this Sunday, all eyes are on their struggling manager, Ruben Amorim. Amidst a shaky start to the season for both teams, United seeks to maintain momentum after a hard-fought victory over Burnley before the international break.

With Manchester City facing pressures of their own—losing two of their first three games—this clash at the Etihad could be pivotal for Amorim's future at Old Trafford. Reports suggest that if results don't improve, he may soon find himself on the chopping block.

Could Sean Dyche be the Answer?

Amid speculation about Amorim's job security, former Burnley manager Sean Dyche has emerged as a surprising contender for the vacant managerial position. Analyst Charlie Austin believes that while Zinedine Zidane would be an ideal choice, Dyche could offer the much-needed structure that United currently lacks.

"If I were in charge, I'd chase Zidane first. But if that’s not an option, Dyche brings stability—a vital aspect for United right now," Austin emphasized, underscoring the need for solid leadership to guide the team out of its current slump.

Andre Onana's New Adventure

In a significant shift, Andre Onana has been loaned to Turkish club Trabzonspor, marking the end of his tumultuous spell with United. During his time at Old Trafford, Onana faced heavy scrutiny for a series of costly errors, especially during their shock exit from the Carabao Cup this season.

Welcoming the change, Onana expressed his happiness in finding a more supportive environment, stating he has "never felt so much love" as he did from Trabzonspor's fans. He is eager to start this new chapter in his career and give back to the supporters who embraced him.

Ownership Changes on the Horizon?

Meanwhile, the issue of club ownership remains a hot topic among United fans, who are desperate for a shift away from the controversial Glazer family. While Sir Jim Ratcliffe has invested heavily for a minority stake, many are still skeptical about his ability to restore the club's past glories.

Interestingly, golf superstar Tiger Woods has been suggested as a potential future owner by former Premier League player Matt Jansen, sparking debate over the feasibility and impact of such a move. Former Blackburn star Brad Friedel added that while Woods could greatly benefit the Premier League, he should consider a takeover at Liverpool instead.

As the Manchester Derby approaches, the stakes couldn't be higher for United—both on the pitch and in the boardroom. Will Amorim lead his team to a crucial victory or face an uncertain future? And what does the future hold for both Onana and the club's ownership?
