According to Prominent Italian Journalist Fabrizio Romano INEOS are ready to dismiss Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim with three strong candidates lined up as potential replacements given the lack of results in his tenure.
Ruben Amorim’s tenure as Manchester United manager is already under scrutiny, with growing concerns over whether he is the right fit for the club. Initially appointed with high expectations, his time at Old Trafford has been far from smooth, as poor results and inconsistent performances have raised doubts about his long-term future.
When Erik ten Hag was dismissed, many United fans saw it as a necessary change, hoping for a fresh approach. INEOS, the club’s new decision-makers, wasted no time in securing Amorim, who had earned widespread recognition for his achievements with Sporting CP, including two Liga Portugal titles. His tactical prowess in Portugal even led to comparisons with managerial greats like José Mourinho. However, the optimism surrounding his arrival has quickly faded, as United’s struggles have only deepened under his leadership. The team remains disjointed, tactical cohesion is lacking, and there are few signs of the revival fans had hoped for.
Sunday’s loss to Tottenham marked a new low, with United suffering their 12th Premier League defeat in just 25 matches. Such a poor run of form has not been seen since the 1973/74 season—a campaign that ended in relegation. With performances failing to improve, speculation about Amorim’s future has intensified. Reports suggest that the club’s hierarchy is growing frustrated with the lack of tangible progress and has begun considering potential replacements. Amorim’s inability to establish a clear tactical identity and produce consistent results has only added to the uncertainty surrounding his position.
Despite the ongoing struggles, INEOS is reportedly inclined to let Amorim finish the season unless results take an even worse turn. The leadership is hesitant to make another mid-season managerial change but is already weighing up alternatives behind the scenes. As the summer transfer window approaches, United is expected to ramp up its search for a manager capable of turning the team into genuine contenders. Several high-profile names have been linked to the role, including former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, ex-Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel, and former Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino.
INEOS has already shown a willingness to make swift and decisive changes when necessary. Their handling of Dan Ashworth’s departure is a reminder that they are not afraid to shake things up if they feel it is needed. If results do not improve soon, Amorim could find himself out of a job before the season ends. The pressure is mounting, and each defeat further weakens his grip on the role. Without a drastic turnaround, United could once again be searching for a new manager, continuing their cycle of instability in a bid to reclaim past glory.
