At Manchester United, there is growing speculation surrounding the future of head coach Ruben Amorim.
Recent reports have painted clubs under pressure, but for now they are publicly committed to their managers.
According to Givemesport, the club has not yet taken steps to appoint a successor.
As things stand, United are not lining up alternatives. This is a sign that despite the fan’s frustration and troublesome consequences, Amorim hopes to be able to turn the tide.
Man United’s struggle refuses to end
The concern is not minor. United’s start in the Premier League season was the worst in decades, with just four points from four games.
The losses to the top opposition, including a 3-0 blow against Manchester City, only add scrutiny.
Critics point to Amorim’s stubbornness towards his claims about tactical setups, squad choices, and playing styles that he feels are not suitable for the players he currently has at his disposal.
United’s board of directors still expresses support for Amorim. No replacements were lined up, and no official decision has been made to terminate his contract.
This support can be influenced by contractual complexity, financial impact, or belief that stability could be rewarded if results were obtained.
Reuben Amorim is still under severe pressure
The club hasn’t made a critical move towards Amorim’s replacement, but pressure is increasing as bad results and fueled by growing media and fans’ uncertainty.
Short-term fixtures could define his near future. If that stretch doesn’t produce improved performance, everything about the club’s amorim could still change.
The Red Devils will face Chelsea, Sunderland and Brentford in the next three games, with Amorim and his team’s performances being watched carefully.
Ir Jim Ratcliffe will consider dismissing Reuben Amorim if this happened at Man United
