Ruben Amorim has expressed uncertainty about his future as Manchester United’s manager as the team’s disappointing domestic performance continues. Despite guiding the club to the Europa League final, United’s struggles in the Premier League persist, with a recent 2-0 loss to West Ham leaving them in 16th place. This marks the club’s 17th league defeat in 36 games, a record that mirrors the dreadful 1973/74 season, which saw the team relegated.
Amorim, who took over in November on a two-and-a-half-year deal, replaced Erik ten Hag but now hints his time in charge could be brief. He suggested that the upcoming Europa League final against Tottenham is overshadowed by deeper issues within the club. Speaking to the BBC, Amorim said, “Everybody is focused on the final, but that’s not the main problem. We need to address the culture within the club and the team.” He emphasized the need for significant changes to avoid repeating this disastrous season in the future.
Amorim also questioned whether the club is prepared for a potential return to the Champions League, acknowledging the scale of the challenges ahead. He said, “We need to improve drastically, and playing in the Champions League may be out of our reach if things don’t change.” He urged the club to focus on immediate improvements, specifically targeting Chelsea and other critical areas for growth.
