Manchester United’s difficult season took another hit with a 2-0 home loss to West Ham, intensifying pressure on head coach Rúben Amorim and casting fresh uncertainty over his future at the club.
According to a report, Amorim’s post-match comments suggest growing frustration behind the scenes. Although his position is not under formal review, his words point to deeper concerns.
“We need to change that. It’s a decisive moment in the history of the club,” Amorim told the BBC, referring to the culture within the team.
The Portuguese manager, who joined United in November to replace Erik ten Hag, has struggled to reverse the club’s poor form. They now sit 16th in the Premier League with only two matches remaining. Despite reaching the Europa League final, Amorim insisted the focus should be on long-term changes rather than short-term success.
Internally, club leadership has not indicated plans to replace him. However, Amorim’s own remarks suggest he may consider stepping down unless structural issues are addressed this summer.
Potential Replacements Under Watch
Massimiliano Allegri has emerged as a leading candidate if Amorim departs. Currently a free agent after leaving Juventus last season, Allegri is reportedly the bookmakers’ favorite with odds at 4/1. Other names being considered include Mauricio Pochettino, Gareth Southgate, Kieran McKenna, and Oliver Glasner.
While no formal move has been made, the presence of these alternatives suggests the club is preparing for multiple scenarios, especially with the summer window approaching.
Summer Overhaul Likely
United’s current league position is their lowest in the Premier League era. With the season nearing its end and a potential Europa League trophy on the line, the final few games will be crucial—not just for the club’s standing, but for the direction it takes going forward.
Amorim remains under contract until 2027, but his future hinges on whether those at Old Trafford are willing to confront the challenges he has openly addressed.
