Eric Cantona believes Ruben Amorim has been set up to fail at Manchester United.

What does Eric Cantona think of Ruben Amorim?

Cantona says it's been a tough ask for Amorim to get a tune out of his players so quickly after arriving from Portugal.

Amorim arrived at Old Trafford in November but has been unable to get a tune out of the Red Devils players since his arrival.

Manchester United's only remaining hopes of success this season are to win the Europa League, as their crucial quarter-final second leg with Lyon approaches on Thursday.

Why it matters for Eric Cantona

Eric Cantona thinks it will be more fair to judge Amorim next season because he has to work with the players he didn't choose.

“We have to wait [and see]," said Cantona. "He did great things at Lisbon and came in during the middle of the season, so he didn’t choose a player, I know he's unhappy about the players.

What comes next for Manchester United?

The Red Devils are back in Premier League action on Sunday as they host Wolves.

INEOS are expected to complete a huge sale spree in the summer, with the likes of Marcus Rashford, Antony, Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof all expected to leave in 2025.

Cantona is right to point out the errors being made at Old Trafford, but Amorim needs time and after all, he was the man who suggested he take the job on in the summer, instead of smack bang in the middle of the season.

A 14th Premier League defeat of the season came at St James' Park on Sunday.
