Ruben Amorim is reportedly growing increasingly frustrated with his Manchester United squad, particularly over leaks of team news to the media. The Portuguese manager has issued a stern warning to his players, making it clear that such breaches of confidentiality must stop. His dissatisfaction comes amid mounting speculation about his future at Old Trafford, with concerns rising that he could depart sooner than expected.
United’s struggles on the pitch have only added to the uncertainty. The team is currently languishing in 15th place in the Premier League, far below their usual standards. They trail the Champions League qualification spots by a significant 15 points, while sitting just 12 points above the relegation zone. Since replacing Erik ten Hag, Amorim has overseen 21 matches, securing only nine victories. His win rate of 42.86% is notably inferior to that of his recent predecessors, with both Ten Hag and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer boasting win percentages above 54%. This underwhelming performance has led to discussions about whether Amorim is the right man to lead the club forward.
Further complicating matters, reports suggest that certain senior players have begun to question his tactical setup. Amorim has primarily employed a 3-4-2-1 formation, but according to the *Daily Mail*, some members of the squad have expressed doubts about its effectiveness. This lack of full support from key players could make his job even more difficult as he attempts to steady the ship and turn United’s fortunes around.
Adding to the speculation, football pundit Stan Collymore has weighed in on the situation, suggesting that Amorim might not even need to be dismissed—he could opt to walk away on his own. Collymore believes the manager may have underestimated the scale of the challenge at United and could decide that the role is simply too demanding. If Amorim were to leave voluntarily, it would add yet another chapter to United’s ongoing struggles in finding long-term stability in their managerial position.
With tension growing in the dressing room, a poor league standing, and questions over his tactical approach, Amorim faces a pivotal period in his tenure at United. Whether he can navigate through this difficult stretch and win over his squad remains to be seen. If results do not improve quickly, speculation over his future will only intensify, potentially forcing United’s hierarchy to make yet another managerial change.
