Manchester United face Sunderland this weekend — and all eyes are on Ruben Amorim.

In this 15-minute bonus episode of the Sound Leadership Podcast, hosts Dan Boniface and Darren Draper analyse Amorim’s recent behaviours at Manchester United and explore what they reveal about leadership under pressure. 

From sticking rigidly to a failing system, to showing disengagement in high-pressure moments, and even openly criticising his own players, Amorim’s start at Old Trafford raises big questions about planning, togetherness, and trust.

⚽ In time for United’s clash with Sunderland, we break down:

• Why stubborn planning erodes adaptability.
• How presence and body language build or break team unity.
• Why careless words destroy trust and psychological safety.

Whether you’re a football fan, HR professional, or business leader, this case study shows how behaviours shape culture, trust, and results — on the pitch and in the workplace.
