Manchester United seeks a new manager: who can replace Amorim.
According to The Sun: Although Manchester United secured a victory over Sunderland before the international break, coach Ruben Amorim is feeling great pressure. Despite promises of significant changes after the summer transfers, the team has yet to show stability in results.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe notes that Amorim needs three years to showcase his abilities, but the situation could change if results do not improve.
The club's management is already considering several top managers who could replace Amorim in case he is dismissed.
Oliver Glasner
Glasner earned legend status at Crystal Palace after winning the FA Cup against Manchester City, and his team is a favorite in the Europa League. Prior to a recent victory over Everton, the team set a club record with 19 matches unbeaten, currently sitting sixth in the Premier League table.
Glasner's contract ends in the summer, so if United decide to dismiss Amorim mid-season, he could be one of the potential candidates for his position.

Together with Glasner and Fabian Hurzeler, Iraola is one of the most interesting managers for United, as he has extensive experience with the Bournemouth team. Despite losing almost the entire defensive line in the summer, the team is currently fourth in the table.
United have failed to beat Bournemouth in four matches, suffering two defeats with a score of 3-0 at Old Trafford. Iraola is actively developing talents, as his team has already caught the eye of clubs such as Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain.

Xavi
When United and Barcelona met in the Europa League knockout stage in February 2023, it seemed their coaches could swap teams in the future. Xavi has yet to work since being dismissed from Barcelona in 2024, and his experience is limited to only managing in Qatar.
Xavi could be an attractive choice, considering his outstanding playing career and passion for stylish football.

Fabian Hurzeler
The 32-year-old Hurzeler is the least experienced among the candidates, and it is probably still too early for him to move to United. He has potential at Brighton, but he should first work with a team for at least three years.

The discussion around Gareth Southgate and United has become less active over the past year as he is currently jobless. The former club sporting director, Dan Ashworth, backed him or Eddie Howe, but now that Ashworth is no longer there, the manager may have doubts about the job requirements.

Ole Gunnar Solskjær
Solskjær has returned to Manchester and is once again available in the coaching market. Some United fans would be happy to see him return, despite the fact that the most notable moments of his management coincided with the Covid-19 period.

The situation surrounding Manchester United remains tense, and if results do not improve, the club may consider options for changing the manager. Many fans are watching potential candidates, from Andoni Iraola to the legendary Ole Gunnar Solskjær, each of whom has their advantages and characteristics that could influence the club's future.
The choice of the next manager will be an important step for United, and opinions among experts and fans are still divided, raising doubts about whether the club can return to the path of victories with new leadership.
