Manchester United Reportedly Considering Amorim’s Replacement Amid Poor Start
According to Fichajes, Manchester United is reportedly weighing up the possibility of replacing Ruben Amorim following a challenging beginning to his tenure at Old Trafford.
Amorim took charge in November after leaving Sporting CP, succeeding Erik ten Hag with the aim of revamping a struggling squad. However, the expected resurgence has not materialized, and the team’s performance has continued to decline.
Currently, United sits 15th in the Premier League table after a disappointing 1-0 loss to Tottenham, marking their seventh consecutive winless match—their worst run since 2008.
Off-field issues have further complicated matters, including financial restrictions introduced by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Budget cuts and staff reductions have affected morale within the club.
United Assessing Future Managerial Options
Reports suggest that while the club intends to keep Amorim in charge until the end of the season barring a major setback, alternative managerial options are being considered for the 2025/2026 campaign.
