Manchester United have cut ties with manager Ruben Amorim, ending what turned out to be a brief and chaotic spell at Old Trafford. The move follows a string of poor results that have left the club hovering near the bottom of the Premier League and sparked frustration among fans who had already begun to lose patience.
Amorim arrived with high expectations, hailed as one of Europe’s brightest young coaches, but he never managed to stamp his authority on the team. Even with major backing in the transfer market – bringing in Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha, Diego Leon, and Bryan Mbeumo – performances on the pitch fell flat. The same old problems persisted: a lack of identity, inconsistency, and defensive frailty, echoing the struggles of previous campaigns.
The situation came to a head after a disappointing draw with Fulham, which left United with just a single point from their opening fixtures. Insiders say the board felt they could not risk another wasted season, and with the prospect of a mid-table finish looming, they decided to act swiftly.
The dismissal leaves United searching once again for a new leader in what has become an endless merry-go-round of managers since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure. Early whispers suggest candidates like Oliver Glasner, Gareth Southgate, Marco Silva, and even Zinedine Zidane are being considered, though nothing has been confirmed.
For Amorim, the exit serves as a harsh lesson in how unforgiving English football can be. For United, it’s yet another reset in their desperate attempt to rediscover the glory days.
