Manchester United’s leadership has already formulated a contingency plan in case they opt to part ways with Ruben Amorim amid the team’s disastrous Premier League campaign.
The Red Devils suffered their 17th league defeat on Sunday, falling 2-0 to West Ham United at Old Trafford, further extending their miserable run in the top flight.
Asked whether his team needs a transfer overhaul, he said: “I don’t know and I don’t want to talk about players. I’m talking about myself and the culture in the club.

“The culture in the team. I have that feeling: we need to change that. We need to be really strong in the summer and to be brave because we will not have a next season like this.
“If we start like this, if the feeling is still here, we should give space [my job] to different persons.”
Amorim’s remarks have fueled speculation about another managerial change at Old Trafford following Erik ten Hag’s dismissal earlier this season.
Reports suggest that if United’s poor form persists, the club may begin exploring other options.
According to The Athletic, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Sir Dave Brailsford, and Omar Berrada are reluctant to make another managerial switch so soon after Amorim’s arrival.
However, if performances fail to improve, the Portuguese coach could face serious uncertainty heading into next season.
United’s leadership reportedly views the current situation as unacceptable and is determined not to let it drag into the next campaign.
Despite this, Amorim’s position appears safe for the remainder of the season, with the upcoming transfer window offering an opportunity to reshape the squad to better suit his vision.
Securing the Europa League title—and with it, Champions League qualification—would strengthen his standing at the club and grant him a larger budget for summer signings.
