‘Ruben Amorim to be sacked today’ – Man United fans in meltdown
Man United supporters were all but unanimous in their reaction towards Ruben Amorim after losing the Europa League final.
Man United’s dismal domestic campaign left the Europa League as their last hope of salvaging a poor season, but even that slipped away with a 1-0 defeat to Tottenham in a flat and uninspired performance.
The club, languishing in 16th in the Premier League, showed little urgency or creativity in the final, and a scrappy goal from Brennan Johnson proved the difference.
Amorim’s decision to hand Mason Mount a rare start raised eyebrows, especially after United failed to respond once they went behind.
Amorim had already been under mounting pressure of a sack heading into the match but only saw that increase significantly after the full-time whistle. Questions over his tactical decisions, in-game adjustments, and overall management are now louder than ever.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe won’t allow Ruben Amorim to quit amid growing pressure
Amid United’s dire run of form in the league, the coach hasn’t shied away from criticising his squad publicly, raising questions regarding his future.
Football Insider exclusively revealed that Amorim has even privately admitted he regrets taking the job after leaving Sporting CP back in November — a club that have now gone on to win the Portuguese title for a second successive season.
This has led to increasing speculation that he could choose to walk away from Old Trafford.
However, reports suggest that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has no intention of allowing Amorim to resign, even if he were to offer his resignation.
Speaking after the Europa League final defeat to Tottenham, Amorim addressed the media and stated he would “leave with no compensation” if the club’s board decided he wasn’t the right man for the role.
Man United fans call for Ruben Amorim to be sacked after Spurs defeat
This season is shaping up to be one of the most humiliating in Man United’s recent history. The club is now set to miss out on European football for the first time since 2015, compounding an already dismal campaign.
Amorim has failed to steady the ship since his appointment, with United averaging just 0.92 points per game in the league under his leadership — winning only six matches during his tenure.
Following the 1-0 loss to Spurs, fan frustration reached boiling point.
Calls for Amorim’s sacking are growing louder, with one supporter writing: “I’d sack Amorim tonight if I was INEOS. Nothing wrong in admitting we made a mistake appointing him.” Another added: “Worst manager in Manchester United’s history.”
