Rúben Amorim's position as Manchester United manager is reportedly under serious scrutiny following the club's shocking Carabao Cup defeat to League Two side Grimsby Town.
Despite assurances from sources like talkSPORT that Amorim is not facing an immediate dismissal, discontent among fans continues to grow. Many argue that the Portuguese manager has failed to make meaningful progress since taking over from Erik ten Hag in November 2024.
The Red Devils ended last season with their worst-ever Premier League finish and suffered a painful Europa League final defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. Hopes of a fresh start this season have quickly faded, with United managing only two defeats and a draw in their opening fixtures—despite significant investment in the summer transfer window.
Amorim’s own comments have only added to the uncertainty. In a recent interview, he admitted, “Sometimes I want to quit; sometimes I want to be here for 20 years,” revealing a degree of self-doubt and internal conflict.
His perceived stubbornness in tactical decisions has not helped, fueling speculation over his future. Bookmakers now rank him as a joint favorite to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked.
With mounting pressure, names like former United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Newcastle manager Eddie Howe have already surfaced as potential replacements, should the club decide to make a change.
