Amorim Sacked! Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Manchester United Board Call Urgent Meeting at Carrington as 51-Year-Old Manager Prepares to Take Over
Manchester United has been thrown into fresh chaos after the board made the bold decision to part ways with Rúben Amorim. The Portuguese coach has been dismissed following a series of disastrous results, with the final straw being an embarrassing defeat to a lower-league side. What was once seen as a promising new era has now come crashing down, leaving the club scrambling to save its season.
The decision came after weeks of growing unrest inside the dressing room, with players reportedly losing faith in Amorim’s methods. Fans had also grown increasingly vocal about their frustrations, while investors applied pressure on Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the board to take decisive action. Late-night reports revealed that an emergency meeting was held at Carrington, where senior figures, including Ratcliffe himself, concluded that Amorim’s project had failed to deliver.
Sources from inside the meeting described it as tense but ultimately unanimous. Concerns extended beyond the poor results—there was also criticism over the lack of direction and identity in United’s football. Despite early optimism when Amorim arrived, many felt his tactics never adjusted to the unique challenges of the Premier League. By the close of discussions, the board agreed immediate change was essential to prevent the campaign from unraveling completely.
Even before Amorim’s departure was finalized, plans were already in motion for his replacement. A 51-year-old manager, whose identity remains under wraps for now, has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with the club. Known for his ability to steady struggling teams and command authority in turbulent situations, he has the backing of Ratcliffe, who believes this appointment will provide the reset United desperately need.
Supporters, meanwhile, have reacted strongly to the news. Many welcomed the decision, insisting that Amorim was never the right fit for Old Trafford. Others voiced concern that the constant managerial changes point to deeper problems within the club’s leadership. On social media, reactions poured in, with one fan declaring that losing to lower-league opposition was “unacceptable” and praising the board for acting swiftly.
Attention now shifts to the official announcement of the new manager, which could come within days, possibly even before the weekend’s fixture. His first task will be to restore unity in a fractured squad and instill belief in a team that looks drained of confidence. For Amorim, his exit marks the end of a short-lived chapter. For Manchester United, it signals the start of yet another rebuild—one that will determine whether the club can finally find stability or remain stuck in a cycle of constant upheaval.
