Man United insider reveals ‘incredible’ update on Ruben Amorim’s future
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is under increasing scrutiny after his side lost 3-0 away to Manchester City on Sunday.
Man United’s defeat against Manchester City saw questions resurface around the head coach’s position at Old Trafford.
Ex-Man United captain Roy Keane aimed a dig at Amorim in his post-match analysis of the game, with many seeing the Portuguese head coach’s role as increasingly untenable.
As the dust has settled on United’s defeat, pundits have been having their say on matters at the club, with Micah Richards pointing out Amorim’s key issues.

As the criticism surrounding Amorim heightens, Man United’s hierarchy are reportedly remaining supportive of the 40-year-old.
Manchester Evening News reporter Samuel Luckhurst wrote on X: “A source close to Amorim admits it is ‘incredible’ that his position is not under genuine threat.”
Amorim has earned a point per game during his 31 Premier League games in charge of Man United, winning just six games since arriving from Portugal.
An unwillingness to change his style has caused many critics to question how capable Amorim is to steer United out of their current mire.

As Erling Haaland strode through a barren Man United half to slot his second goal of the game past Altay Bayindir, Amorim must have been thinking the worst.
Shots of Sir Jim Ratcliffe in disbelief reinforced that feeling to any viewers watching on from home, with the United co-owner facing the sternest test of his resolve since taking over part-ownership of the club in 2024.

Amorim was the first major hire of Ratcliffe’s United reign, and his failings are an equally bad showing on the footballing operations that have taken place over the last 18 months at Old Trafford.
Ratcliffe will be hoping for an upturn in results in the coming weeks as the petrochemical money mogul aims to avoid uncomfortable conversations with Amorim about his future.
