Manchester United Already Exploring Ruben Amorim’s Successor Amid Disappointing Start
According to reports from Fichajes, Manchester United are already considering potential replacements for Ruben Amorim following a frustrating beginning to his tenure at Old Trafford.
Amorim was appointed in November after departing Sporting CP, taking over from Erik ten Hag with hopes of revitalizing the struggling team. However, instead of an upturn in form, United’s performances have continued to decline.
A Season of Struggles
Currently, United find themselves in 15th place in the Premier League following a narrow 1-0 defeat to Tottenham, marking their seventh consecutive match without a win—their worst streak since 2008.
Off the pitch, financial challenges under co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe have added to the club’s troubles, leading to staff layoffs and budget restrictions, further impacting morale.
Looking Ahead to 2025/26
While Amorim is expected to remain in charge until the season’s end unless results deteriorate significantly, reports indicate that the club is already evaluating managerial options for the 2025/26 campaign.
Manchester United’s Current Premier League Stats
Wins: 8 (13th)
Losses: 12 (Tied-14th)
Shots per Game: 13.4 (12th)
Shots Conceded per Game: 11.4 (14th)
Expected Goals (xG): 38.48 (13th)
Their upcoming fixture sees them face an in-form Everton side, and with key players such as Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte, and Amad Diallo out injured, the challenges keep mounting.
Given the high expectations surrounding Amorim’s appointment, his early struggles have placed his future in doubt. With United’s form worsening and financial limitations complicating matters, speculation over his replacement is likely to intensify.
If results don’t improve, the club may move swiftly in their managerial search before summer. With previous links to high-profile names such as Zinedine Zidane, Thomas Tuchel, and Mauricio Pochettino, who do you think would be t
he best fit for United’s future?
