Stan Collymore said Manchester United is currently suffering from a leadership crisis and there is nothing Ruben Amorim can do.
Former Liverpool striker claims Unity The team missed a real leader who could really help the team.
Manchester United have continued to underperform in the Premier League and Europe in recent years, but they did win the FA Cup in 2024 to add to the 2023 League Cup.
Still, they have finished eighth and sixth in both of the last three seasons and seem to be working on the top ten at their current pace.
A key issue is the lack of leaders. Other teams in the Premier League have a wealth of roles, with Liverpool having nine players who wear armbands for their country, most of whom have played in the first team.

“I know a lot of people might think that the days of the Roy Keane type captain are dead, but I just don’t think that Bruno Fernandez’s performance, his ability to lead and his ability to ridicule the extra 5% of players is proven .
