Reports indicate that Manchester United’s ownership group, INEOS, is growing increasingly impatient with Ruben Amorim as the team struggles to find consistent form. Despite a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Everton, Amorim’s position appears to be under serious threat, with INEOS reportedly considering a managerial change.
According to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano, a current Premier League manager has emerged as the leading candidate to replace Amorim, though the specific name remains undisclosed. Speculation suggests potential options such as Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi, Brentford’s Thomas Frank, and Aston Villa’s Unai Emery.
Amorim’s tenure at United has been marred by inconsistency, with only four wins in 14 league matches since his appointment in November 2024. Following the Everton match, he openly criticized his team’s first-half display, describing it as “soft” and lacking presence. Meanwhile, frustration within INEOS extends beyond the pitch, with financial concerns mounting after a 12% revenue drop and a significant decline in operating profits.
As United prepares for a crucial fixture against Ipswich Town on February 26, 2025, the pressure on Amorim intensifies. His future at Old Trafford could depend on the team’s performance in the coming weeks, as INEOS weighs whether a managerial change is necessary to turn the club’s fortunes around.
