According to GiveMeSport, the club has yet to begin the process of finding a potential replacement.
At present, there are no active efforts to identify successors, indicating that—despite mounting fan dissatisfaction and a poor run of results—the club’s leadership is still hopeful Amorim can reverse their fortunes.
The concerns are serious. United’s start to the Premier League campaign has been one of their worst in recent memory, securing just four points from their opening four fixtures.
Heavy defeats, particularly a 3–0 loss to rivals Manchester City, have intensified criticism.
Detractors argue that Amorim’s rigid tactical approach, his player selections, and a playing style that doesn’t seem well-suited to the current squad are all contributing to the struggles.
Nonetheless, the United board continues to stand behind him. No decisions have been made regarding his dismissal, and there is no indication that a replacement has been targeted.
This continued support could stem from the complexity of his contract, potential financial fallout from an early termination, or a strategic decision to prioritize stability in hopes of a turnaround.
Still, the pressure is mounting. Poor performances and increasing discontent among supporters and the media are fueling speculation.
Amorim’s immediate future could hinge on the next few matches. Should results fail to improve, the situation could change rapidly.
Upcoming games against Chelsea, Sunderland, and Brentford are likely to be pivotal, with Amorim and his squad under intense scrutiny.
