The pressure at Old Trafford has reached breaking point after Manchester United CEO Omar Berrada openly admitted that the club already has arrangements in place with two elite managers should Ruben Amorim fail to turn things around.

In a strikingly candid moment, Berrada explained that while the board still wants to back Amorim, they cannot ignore the need for contingency plans. He revealed that two top managers have already given their approval to step in, with Amorim’s future hinging on the outcome of Sunday’s clash against Chelsea. “We want to support him, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a plan. Right now, we have two managers who have agreed to come in if needed. Sunday will be decisive. We’ve invested heavily, and these results are not acceptable,” Berrada said.

The revelation has sent shockwaves through the fanbase, with reports strongly linking both Zinedine Zidane and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to the role. Zidane, a three-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, is seen as the dream candidate to restore United’s lost dominance, while Solskjaer, still beloved by large sections of supporters, is considered a safer option who could bring unity and stability.

Amorim’s tenure now hangs by the slimmest of threads, with Sunday’s trip to Stamford Bridge shaping up as the defining moment of his Manchester United career. Should he falter, the club appears ready to act swiftly, ending yet another chapter in their turbulent post-Ferguson saga.

Supporters are deeply divided: some long for Zidane’s proven brilliance, while others yearn for the return of Solskjaer’s passion and familiarity. But whichever path the board takes, one thing is clear—Amorim’s time is running out, and Sunday’s game could signal either his redemption or the beginning of a new era.
