Limpar, a former Arsenal and Everton midfielder, spoke amid scrutiny of Amorim’s tenure following United’s poor start to the 2025-26 season.
Despite heavy summer spending, the Red Devils won only two of their first six Premier League games and suffered a Carabao Cup exit at the hands of fourth-division Grimsby Town.
While recent back-to-back victories over Sunderland and Liverpool have offered some respite, Limpar believes Simeone’s proven intensity and tactical acumen could provide the shake-up United needs to restore consistency and competitiveness at Old Trafford.
"Diego Simeone is definitely a good manager to manage any Premier League team but it all comes down to the right environment and the players and then the transformation,” Limpar told Hajper
“Nobody knows what a man like Simeone and his type of energy would do at United. We’ve seen him play like Antonio Conte when he was at Chelsea and he won the Premier League with that kind of management.
“But it comes down to the players and manager working together. Simeone is so demanding, even with his own son, to play more than the other ones, and the work rate from Atletico’s players is unbelievable.
“Imagine having a manager who demands so much of his players at Arsenal, Liverpool or United? He would have them working like mad dogs."
