Having collected only four points from their initial four fixtures, speculation is mounting over Ruben Amorim’s job security. ..Continue Reading
The club’s ownership gave the Portuguese coach full financial support to invest in the squad during the summer transfer window.
Amorim bolstered the team by bringing in Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Diego Leon, Benjamin Sesko, and Senne Lammens.
Despite clear weaknesses in midfield, Amorim opted not to recruit any reinforcements in that area—an omission that may be contributing to their current struggles.
Their most recent loss came at the hands of Manchester City at the Etihad, and while the 3-0 defeat was humiliating, it’s the nature of the performance that should concern both supporters and club executives.
Ex-Premier League forward Charlie Austin has put forward Zinedine Zidane as a potential candidate to take over at Old Trafford.
In a surprising twist, Austin also named Sean Dyche—dismissed by Everton earlier this year—as someone who might bring much-needed stability to the faltering side.
“I think he’s got to go, if it’s my decision, I’m going after Zinedine Zidane,” he said, as reported by Express.
“Ultimately, there are a different set of managers that you’ve got to be looking at, because the situation Manchester United are in, I would take Zidane but is he the right man for the job and how we see them, probably not.
“In my honest opinion, you have to look at the job Sean Dyche did at Burnley, what he did at Everton. For me, he stabilised the club, at least he’s going to put structure in there.
“Zidane is the top of the tree for me, but what the club needs now is structure because that is something they do not have. I know Manchester United fans will look at me saying, ‘he said Sean Dyche’, no, they need structure [and] that is a man who will come in and make the team a lot better than what we are all seeing.”
Amorim’s future at Manchester United hangs in the balance, and with each passing week, the pressure on him continues to mount.
His side has struggled to deliver consistent performances, and Amorim remains firmly committed to his tactical approach, despite growing criticism.
The upcoming clash with Chelsea at Old Trafford has now taken on added significance—another defeat could push the club’s hierarchy to make a decisive change.
Amid the uncertainty, Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has emerged as a potential candidate to take over, with reports suggesting United are closely monitoring his situation.
