According to Prominent Italian Journalist Fabrizio Romano a Premier League Manager is Leading the Race to Succeed Ruben Amorim at Man United as Ineos’ Patience Wears Thin from the recent streak of losses. Ineos has also told Amorim that his job is in jeopardy even after his 2:2 draw against Everton.
Manchester United’s ownership group, INEOS, is reportedly running out of patience with Ruben Amorim as the club continues to struggle under his leadership. The recent 2-2 draw against Everton has only heightened concerns, with sources suggesting that Amorim’s future at Old Trafford is in serious jeopardy. If results do not improve significantly in the coming weeks, the Portuguese manager may not last the season.
Despite being brought in with high expectations, Amorim has struggled to establish consistency within the team. A lack of defensive stability and attacking sharpness has contributed to disappointing results, fueling frustration among the club’s hierarchy and supporters alike. Reports indicate that INEOS has already begun considering potential replacements, with a current Premier League manager said to be leading the race. While the specific name remains undisclosed, speculation has linked Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi, Brentford’s Thomas Frank, and Aston Villa’s Unai Emery to the role.
However, not everyone believes Amorim is the primary issue. Under his tenure, United has displayed glimpses of improvement, with a more structured playing style. Yet, costly individual mistakes and lapses in concentration have led to crucial dropped points. Some fans argue that the club’s problems run deeper than the manager, pointing to a history of instability since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure. With several managerial changes over the years—including David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, and Erik ten Hag—United has struggled to recapture its former dominance.
Beyond performances on the pitch, INEOS is also reportedly dissatisfied with the club’s overall operations. Financial reports indicate a concerning downturn, with a 12% revenue drop and operating profits plummeting from £27.5 million to £3.1 million. Cost-cutting measures, including staff layoffs and proposed infrastructure changes, have drawn criticism from various quarters.
As United gears up for a crucial home clash against Ipswich Town on February 26, Amorim faces immense pressure to turn things around. A strong performance could buy him some time, but another disappointing result might force INEOS to make a decisive change. Whether replacing the manager is the solution or if the club needs to commit to a long-term vision remains a pressing debate among fans and analysts.
