Manchester United’s managerial drama has taken another huge twist, as club legend Sir Alex Ferguson has openly voiced his disapproval of current boss Ruben Amorim and strongly recommended a world-class replacement.

Speaking with conviction, Ferguson admitted that his concerns about Amorim began long before the Portuguese manager even stepped into the dugout at Old Trafford.

“From the very beginning, I said I wasn’t in support of Ruben Amorim, and people thought it was out of hate—but no! I strongly recommend this top-class manager, who won the Treble in his very first season, to take over the Manchester United job. He is ruthless, intelligent, and built to handle the pressure at this club.”

The legendary Scot’s comments come at a time when Amorim’s job hangs by a thread, with results failing to convince both fans and INEOS, United’s new football power structure led by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

Ferguson’s Warning

For many supporters, Ferguson’s words echo what they have feared for months—that Amorim may not be the right fit for a team as fractured and demanding as Manchester United. The dressing room unrest, tactical inconsistencies, and lack of identity under his reign have made the calls for change louder than ever.

But Ferguson’s endorsement of a Treble-winning coach—a manager who conquered everything in his very first season—has sparked fresh hope among fans that the right man is finally within reach.

INEOS Under Pressure

With Chelsea and other European giants also reportedly monitoring the same manager, Ferguson’s statement serves as a warning to United’s board. INEOS must act fast or risk losing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring in a proven winner.

The timing couldn’t be more crucial, as the Premier League campaign heads into its decisive phase. Another slip-up could see United’s season unravel completely, leaving INEOS with no option but to pull the trigger on Amorim.

Fan Reactions

Unsurprisingly, fans erupted after Ferguson’s statement hit the headlines. Many have taken to social media to demand immediate action from the board:

• “If Sir Alex is recommending him, then there’s no debate—get it done.”
• “We’ve suffered enough. Amorim isn’t the answer. Listen to the boss.”
• “If Chelsea hijack this deal, we’ll regret it for the next 10 years.”

Conclusion

Sir Alex Ferguson remains the most influential figure in Manchester United’s history, and when he speaks, the football world listens. His plea for United to act quickly and secure a Treble-winning tactician could be the final push INEOS needs to make a change.

INEOS must move quickly before Chelsea or others hijack him
