Ruben Amorim’s tenure at Manchester United has quickly turned into a dramatic case.
The Portuguese manager arrived during the November international break with high hopes. Instead, his spell has quickly become a cause for alarm.
Amorim has managed only 10 wins in 21 games. The Red Devils have struggled to find form under his leadership. Each match reveals mounting pressure and a mounting sense of urgency.
A recent loss to Tottenham plunged United to 15th in the Premier League. This season marks their worst league campaign in 51 years. Amorim’s record shows eight losses out of 14 top-flight games, a statistic that fans cannot ignore.
This season stands as the first full campaign under minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Ratcliffe has introduced harsh measures, including plans to cut at least 100 staff members. His approach has fueled tension both on and off the pitch.

Broadcaster Richard Keys has not minced words about the state of affairs. He blasted Ratcliffe’s leadership and questioned Amorim’s commitment. Keys described the situation as reducing United to “bits and pieces” and labeled the owner as clueless.
After a dismal defeat at Spurs, Amorim insisted he remains dedicated to the project at Old Trafford. He stressed that his focus lies solely on preparing for the next match. His message to fans is clear: he is not worried about his own future.
Amorim explained that constant player turnover has forced him to adjust his tactics every week. He admitted that these changes make it difficult to establish a steady game plan. “I hate to lose; that feeling is the worst,” he emphasized, showing his commitment to improvement.
Despite fierce criticism and challenging circumstances, Amorim remains determined. He insists on finishing the league strongly and turning the tide for Manchester United. For now, the focus stays on winning games and restoring the club’s pride in English football.
