Everton ‘to get Ruben Amorim sacked’ after latest Manchester United development
Everton play host to a struggling Manchester United this weekend and could force them into sacking Ruben Amorim already.
Everton have enjoyed a remarkable rebound since the appointment of David Moyes, though the same cannot be said about United under Amorim.
The Toffees have lost just one of their six Premier League encounters under Moyes this season, while the Red Devils have lost three in the same time frame.
Pressure is mounting up on Amorim already, and it appears a defeat to Everton could be the last straw for the ex-Sporting manager.

Ruben Amorim on the brink ahead of Everton v Man United
With Everton currently one point above Man United, the clash at Goodison is a fairly important one for both sides, despite there being little left to play for in the league.
Neither team are at serious risk of relegation but both will be desperate to finish the season on a high, with Man United reportedly considering a change to achieve that.
A report from Fichajes (18 February) states that “Manchester United are going through a period of uncertainty with Rúben Amorim in charge” while adding that they are starting to question his credentials to lead the team forward.
The Spanish news outlet adds “Thomas Frank could take the reins if the team does not show improvement in the coming days.”
Of course, the coming days may well refer to the outcome of the clash with Everton and should the Toffees come out victorious, it could spell the end for Amorim.
David Moyes primed for Man United reunion
Given the time he spent at Man United, it would be some story if he were to be the reason behind another manager’s sacking at Old Trafford.
If the report is to be believed, there is every chance that it could indeed happen with Everton likely to pose a serious threat to the Red Devils.
The Toffees will need to be at their absolute best to carry on their impressive run of form, but based on that of late, they have a real chance to get one over on Manchester United and inflict even more damage on their failure of a campaign.
It promises to be an exciting clash at Goodison that Everton will be looking forward to.
