Bournemouth not worried about Andoni Iraola future, planning new deal
Manchester United have been linked with a move for 43-year-old Bournemouth manager, Andoni Iraola, in recent weeks.
Ruben Amorim is under a lot of pressure after a disappointing start to the season, and Manchester United are keeping tabs on Andoni Iraola as a potential replacement, as per Graeme Bailey on TBR Football. However, Bournemouth are not worried about the Spaniard’s future, and they plan to offer him a new contract.
Iraola has done quite well with Bournemouth, and he could be an excellent addition for Manchester United. The 43-year-old has shown his ability with limited resources at the South Coast club, and it will be interesting to see if he is willing to take on a bigger challenge and move to Manchester United. He will be able to work with top-class players at Old Trafford, and they have the resources to fund quality signings as well.
The Spanish tactician could be tempted to join a big club in the future, although that may not happen anytime soon, considering Bournemouth’s confidence over keeping him. However, he will want to win major trophies, and Bournemouth will not be able to fulfil his ambitions.
Meanwhile, Manchester United have been patient with Amorim, and they have backed him significantly in the transfer market. However, the Portuguese manager has not been able to deliver consistently. It would not be a surprise if they decide to show Amorim the door in the coming weeks, although recent reports suggest the Red Devils are not looking for replacements.
Can Manchester United turn it around?
Manchester United finished in the bottom half of the Premier League table last season, and they have already crashed out of the EFL Cup. The Red Devils have started the season poorly, and they cannot hope to secure a top-four finish if they do not improve immensely. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Despite having quality players at their disposal, Manchester United have not been able to deliver the results on the pitch. The club hierarchy will want a return on their investment, and they could look to make a change in the coming weeks if the results do not improve quickly.
It remains to be seen who Manchester United end up appointing if they part ways with Amorim. Iraola will be a difficult capture for them. Bournemouth are not concerned about losing him, and they are planning to offer him a new contract. It seems that they are confident of keeping him at the club.
