Ruben Amorim must fix this 'fundamental weakness' at Manchester United or inevitably face the sack, IAN LADYMAN warns

Ruben Amorim must tackle Manchester United's 'psychological weakness' if he wants to succeed where previous managers have failed, Ian Ladyman has warned.

Speaking on the Daily Mail's Whistleblowers podcast, Ladyman praised United's summer transfer business but warned their form will remain inconsistent without addressing the 'emotional fragility' that has hung over the club since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure.

Despite a positive preseason tour, fan optimism has been dashed by poor performances against Fulham and Arsenal, and a shock Carabao Cup exit to Grimsby Town.
