Manchester United have parted ways with manager Ruben Amorim after a turbulent and short-lived tenure at Old Trafford.
The decision comes on the back of a poor run of results that left the club languishing near the bottom of the Premier League and stirred growing unrest among supporters.
Amorim, once touted as one of Europe’s brightest young coaches, arrived with big expectations but failed to impose his vision on the team.
Despite heavy investment in players like Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, Diego Leon, and Bryan Mbeumo, United’s performances remained uninspired, plagued by the same recurring issues—lack of identity, inconsistency, and defensive vulnerability.
The tipping point came after a frustrating draw against Fulham, leaving United with just a single point from their early fixtures.
Club insiders revealed the board feared another wasted campaign and, with the threat of a mid-table finish looming, opted for swift action.
Amorim’s dismissal thrusts United back into the hunt for yet another manager in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era. Names already circulating include Oliver Glasner, Gareth Southgate, Marco Silva, and even Zinedine Zidane, though no official moves have been made.
For Amorim, the sacking is a stark reminder of the ruthless nature of English football, while for United, it signals yet another attempt to hit the reset button in their pursuit of former glory.
