Ruben Amorim after the match against Sunderland: will the head coach of Manchester United be fired?.

The situation with Ruben Amorim at Manchester United

According to The Sun: The head coach of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim, may lose his position if his team loses the match against Sunderland.

The start of the season has been difficult for the 40-year-old coach: out of six matches in the Premier League, he has lost three and was knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Grimsby.

According to The Telegraph, the Portuguese is under significant pressure before the “must-win match” at Old Trafford.

According to SunSport, the former Sporting coach is receiving support from the club's management, and currently, no replacement has been appointed.

However, the club is monitoring potential candidates. Another defeat before the international break, after which Manchester United will head to Anfield, could seriously push management towards making decisions.

Amorim himself admits that he may be fired if results do not improve.

Amorim said: “No one here is naive. We understand that we need results to continue the project. We will reach a point where it becomes impossible for everyone, as this is a very large club with many sponsors and two owners. So it is difficult - balancing is very difficult.”

At this point, Amorim has failed to win two consecutive matches in the Premier League and has accumulated only 34 points from 33 matches since his appointment in November. The club would have to spend around £12 million on compensation if they decide to fire the Portuguese within the first 12 months.

However, according to preliminary data, this will not be a decisive factor for minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

The Red Devils are eager to return to European competitions after significant financial losses due to not participating in European tournaments last season.

Manchester United sources assure that Ruben Amorim has their support, and a replacement is not planned.

However, they are monitoring potential candidates for the 40-year-old coach, who has won only nine league matches in his 11 months in charge.

When asked if he received any guarantees from his bosses, Amorim replied:

“I am not concerned about this, and no one here is naive. We understand that we need results to continue the project. We will reach a point where it becomes impossible for everyone, as this is a very large club with many sponsors and two owners. So it is difficult. You cannot escape results.”

Thus, the situation at Manchester United remains tense, and everything will depend on the result of the upcoming match. Ruben Amorim, despite the support of part of the management, realizes that results are demanded of him, and in the case of a third consecutive defeat, his position may be in jeopardy. In the context of strong competition in the Premier League, the team needs to find its rhythm to avoid further setbacks and return to the fight for European competitions.
