Amorim dismissed from Manchester United: what caused the sudden split

Return to Portugal

Ruben Amorim, the Portuguese coach, was spotted in Portugal after leaving Manchester on a private jet on Saturday.

According to The Sun: The 40-year-old specialist was dismissed from Manchester United on Monday. The reason for this decision was his demand to the club's management:

“back me or sack me”

, made during a tense press conference after a draw where his team finished the match 1-1.

Amorim's dismissal came as a surprise to many, as the coach had ambitions to take the team to a new level. Now the Portuguese has returned home, where he will likely consider new opportunities to continue his career. The situation at Manchester United remains tense, and the club needs a quick decision to stabilize the results.
