On Wednesday night, United endured one of their most significant defeats of the season, falling 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final at San Mames Stadium in Bilbao. ..Continue Reading
Both Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou and United boss Amorim entered the match knowing that failure to secure the trophy could put their jobs at risk.
Now, following United’s loss, the question remains whether INEOS chief Sir Jim Ratcliffe will opt to part ways with the Portuguese coach.
If United decide to make a managerial change, there is already a frontrunner for the position at Old Trafford.
Since replacing Erik ten Hag in November, Amorim has struggled, managing just six league wins, alongside six draws and 13 losses.
According to bookmakers talkSPORT BET, former Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri is the leading candidate to take over if Amorim is dismissed ahead of next season.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, fresh off an impressive FA Cup final victory over Manchester City, is considered the second favorite for the role.
Although former United manager Jose Mourinho had previously been linked with a return, that possibility now appears to be off the table.
Despite speculation, reports suggest that United intend to stand by Amorim, with Ratcliffe reportedly impressed by his work so far.
The only scenario in which Amorim would not be in charge next season is if he chooses to step down himself.
United will conclude their season with a home fixture against Aston Villa, a match that, if lost, would leave them with 39 points—a total that has resulted in relegation in three previous Premier League campaigns.
