Premier League

We were wrong to sack you and bring a flop manager like Amorim in. It is clear that you weren’t the problem. It would be nice if you were to come back” – This is according to Sir Jim Ratcliffe as Manchester United is about to finalize Amorim’s Dismissal as Departure Timeline Emerges if the former Manager Erik Ten Hag agrees to return to the club.

Manchester United Reportedly Considering Ruben Amorim’s Replacement Amid Poor Start

Reports from Fichajes suggest that Manchester United are contemplating replacing Ruben Amorim following a disappointing start to his tenure at Old Trafford.

Amorim took charge in November after leaving Sporting CP, stepping in to succeed Erik ten Hag. His appointment was aimed at revitalizing a struggling United side, but the anticipated improvement has yet to materialize. Instead, performances have continued to decline.

Currently, United sit 15th in the Premier League table after a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham, extending their winless streak to seven games—their longest since 2008.

Compounding the on-field struggles, off-pitch financial constraints imposed by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe have led to staff layoffs and budget cuts, further affecting morale.

United Weighing Their Options for 2025/26
While Amorim is expected to remain in charge until the end of the season unless results drastically worsen, United are already assessing potential replacements for the 2025/26 campaign, according to the report.

United’s Season So Far – Premier League Stats
Wins: 8 (13th)
Losses: 12 (=14th)
Shots Taken Per Game: 13.4 (12th)
Shots Conceded Per Game: 11.4 (14th)
Expected Goals (xG): 38.48 (13th)
Up next, United face a trip to Everton, a side currently in strong form. Injuries have further hindered their season, with key players like Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, and Amad Diallo all sidelined.
It looks like Ruben Amorim’s position at Manchester United is already under scrutiny despite being appointed just a few months ago. Sitting 15th in the Premier League with a seven-game winless streak is concerning, especially considering the expectations that came with his arrival.

The reported financial constraints under INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s leadership are adding another layer of difficulty, particularly with budget cuts and potential staff layoffs affecting morale.

If Amorim doesn’t turn things around soon, especially with tough fixtures ahead, it wouldn’t be surprising if United accelerate their search for a replacement before the summer. Given the names linked in previous discussions—Zidane, Tuchel, and Pochettino—do you have a preference for who could take over if Amorim departs?
