BREAKING: Fabrizio Romano confirms – Manchester United sack Ruben Amorim after humiliating Grimsby defeat
Fabrizio Romano has confirmed what many Manchester United supporters had been anticipating – the Ruben Amorim era at Old Trafford has officially come to an end. Following a shocking Carabao Cup elimination at the hands of League Two side Grimsby Town, the club’s board decided enough was enough and dismissed the Portuguese coach.
According to Romano, emergency discussions took place immediately after the final whistle. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, alongside senior INEOS figures, was reportedly furious and embarrassed by the result. The hierarchy concluded unanimously that Amorim could not continue in charge, sealing his fate on the spot.
“This is the end of the road,” Romano announced. “Ruben Amorim is no longer the Manchester United manager. Decision made, board has approved. Official statement soon – here we go.”
Amorim arrived with great optimism and talk of instilling a bold, attacking philosophy, but his tenure quickly unraveled. United never found rhythm, consistency, or belief under his leadership. Performances were flat, the squad appeared divided, and fans turned restless as the defeats piled up. Losing to Grimsby was the final humiliation, a result many will remember as one of the darkest nights in the club’s modern history.
For supporters, the news sparked more relief than shock. “We couldn’t keep suffering like this,” one fan admitted. “United were lifeless under Amorim. The sacking came too late, but at least it finally happened.”
Now the focus turns to the future. With the season already on the brink, the club must urgently appoint either a caretaker or a permanent replacement capable of stabilizing the dressing room and salvaging what remains of their campaign.
Ruben Amorim’s time at Manchester United is over – a turbulent chapter that most fans will be eager to forget.
