Manchester United’s board released official statement on Ruben Amorim’s future as Zinedine Zidane is contacted.
Manchester United’s board has reaffirmed its support for head coach Rúben Amorim, dismissing recent speculation about a potential managerial change. Despite rumors suggesting the club had reached out to former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, United has categorically denied any such contact, labeling the reports as completely false.
Amorim, who took charge in November 2024, has faced a difficult start to his tenure, with the team struggling at 15th place in the Premier League. However, the board remains confident in his vision and leadership, emphasizing the importance of stability during this transitional period. Rather than making abrupt changes, the club is focused on long-term development under his guidance.
Recent financial disclosures have highlighted the significant cost of previous managerial changes, with the club spending £14.5 million on severance packages for former manager Erik ten Hag and his staff. This expenditure has reinforced the board’s determination to avoid further instability and allow Amorim time to implement his strategies.
As United gears up for key fixtures, including an upcoming clash against Everton on February 22, 2025, the club is urging fans to rally behind the team and coaching staff. The board remains optimistic that, with continued support and determination, the squad can overcome its current struggles and finish the season on a stronger note.
