Ruben Amorim recently revealed his regret over joining Manchester United. The Portuguese coach now questions his decision amid mounting challenges.
He believes he made a tactical error by accepting the job too soon.
In November, United chose Amorim as the successor to Erik ten Hag. INEOS and Omar Berrada pursued him for his proven record at Sporting Lisbon. The club hoped he would transform their expensive squad.
Since taking charge, Amorim has recorded only 10 wins in 24 matches. This performance gives him a win rate of 41.67%. Fans now wonder if his methods suit Old Trafford.
Reports from Football Insider claim Amorim admitted he should have waited until the summer. He resisted a forced “now-or-never” ultimatum from United’s chiefs. His comments expose deep frustrations with the club’s current state.

The coach also expressed shock over the squad’s quality. He believed the players were much better before his arrival. His blunt assessments have stirred controversy and affected team morale.
Speculation about his future grows as critics question his 3-4-2-1 formation. Rumors suggest INEOS might already be scouting for alternatives. Trusted sources like Manchester Evening News and The Athletic dismiss immediate managerial changes.
Former scout Mick Brown criticizes Amorim for damaging the dressing room spirit. Brown argued that his offhand comments harm team unity. He stressed that the coach should have identified and fixed issues by now.
Amorim plans to rebuild United during the summer window. He aims to secure a new striker and target Viktor Gyokeres and Victor Lindelof in the transfer market. Meanwhile, Erik ten Hag’s swift return remains off the table following Jurgen Klopp’s firm stance.
