Manchester United Sack Ruben Amorim After Disastrous Start
Manchester United have dismissed manager Ruben Amorim, drawing a swift end to his turbulent tenure at Old Trafford. The decision follows a series of poor results that left the club near the foot of the Premier League table and unrest growing among supporters.
Amorim, hailed on arrival as one of Europe’s brightest young coaches, never managed to stamp his philosophy on the team. Despite significant summer investment — with Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, Diego Leon, and Bryan Mbeumo joining the squad — performances remained flat. United’s flaws from last season persisted, with inconsistency, defensive lapses, and a lack of identity still evident.
The breaking point came after a frustrating draw against Fulham, leaving United with just a single point from their opening fixtures. Club insiders suggest the board felt they could not risk another wasted campaign, especially with mid-table mediocrity looming once again.
Amorim’s dismissal extends the club’s cycle of managerial upheaval in the post-Ferguson era. Potential successors include Oliver Glasner, Gareth Southgate, Marco Silva, and even Zinedine Zidane, though no firm decision has been made.
For Amorim, the sacking serves as a harsh lesson in the unforgiving demands of Premier League football. For Manchester United, it is yet another attempt to hit the reset button in their quest to reclaim former glory.
The lingering question: who will step up to face the storm at Old Trafford next?
