Manchester United are reportedly considering replacing Ruben Amorim after a tough start to his tenure. The Portuguese manager, who took over from Erik ten Hag in November, has been unable to turn around the team’s fortunes, with the club continuing to struggle in the Premier League.
Poor Results and Declining Form
United’s performance has been disappointing, with the team currently sitting 15th in the Premier League table. The latest setback came with a 1-0 defeat against Tottenham, extending the team’s winless streak to seven matches – their longest since 2008.
Off-Field Issues Impacting Morale
The club’s struggles have been further compounded by off-field issues, including cost-cutting measures introduced by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. These measures, which involve redundancies and budget cuts, are likely to be affecting the morale within the team.
Amorim’s Future in Question
According to Fichajes, Manchester United are already evaluating their options for next season. While Amorim is set to remain in charge until the end of the current campaign unless a disaster strikes, the club is reportedly considering potential replacements for the 2025/2026 season.
