Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United Future in Doubt as Poor Form Continues
Ruben Amorim’s tenure at Manchester United is already under serious scrutiny, with growing concerns over his ability to turn the team’s fortunes around. Despite high expectations following his appointment, United’s struggles on the pitch have raised doubts about his long-term suitability for the role.
From Optimism to Concern
When Erik ten Hag was dismissed, many United fans welcomed a fresh start under Amorim, who had built a strong reputation at Sporting CP with multiple Liga Portugal titles. His tactical acumen even drew comparisons to José Mourinho. However, the excitement has quickly faded as United’s performances remain inconsistent and uninspiring.
United’s Alarming Form
Sunday’s defeat to Tottenham marked United’s 12th Premier League loss in just 25 games, putting Amorim in unwelcome company—United’s last similarly disastrous league campaign was in 1973/74, which ended in relegation. With little sign of improvement, INEOS is reportedly growing impatient and already considering potential replacements.
Managerial Uncertainty and Potential Replacements
For now, INEOS is expected to allow Amorim to finish the season unless results spiral further. However, discussions about his successor have begun, with high-profile names like Zinedine Zidane, Thomas Tuchel, and Mauricio Pochettino linked to the role.
INEOS has shown a willingness to make bold decisions, as seen in their handling of Dan Ashworth’s departure. If Amorim cannot turn things around soon, his time at Old Trafford could end sooner than expected, leaving United once again searching for the right leader to restore their former glory.
