“I’m s¥ffering more than Manchester United fans,” Manager Ruben Amorim Says

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has vowed to fight on despite mounting pressure following a 3-0 derby defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday.

The Portuguese coach, appointed in November 2024 as Erik ten Hag’s successor, has struggled to steady the Red Devils, winning just two of their last 13 league matches while losing eight. Speaking after the latest setback, Amorim insisted he would not abandon his philosophy.

“I will do everything I can for Manchester United. This is my message to the fans. I’m s¥ffering more than them,” he said. “I won’t change my philosophy. If INEOS want it changed, you change the man.”

Despite spending nearly £200m last summer on attacking signings Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko, United remain unbalanced. Critics argue the club neglected midfield, leaving Bruno Fernandes forced into a defensive role that does not suit him. Casemiro and Manuel Ugarte have also struggled, often leaving United to bypass midfield entirely.

Amorim’s future now hinges on whether he can correct those flaws, possibly by reshaping his midfield and making tough calls such as dropping captain Fernandes in favour of youngster Kobbie Mainoo.

While replacing Amorim mid-season would be a drastic move for co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the club cannot allow its current trajectory to continue. If a change is made, observers warn against a hasty appointment, suggesting United may even need to wait until the end of 2025–26 to secure the right candidate.

Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola is already being linked, having led the Cherries to a record 56 Premier League points last term. His high-energy style could complement United’s new-look forward line and make him a strong contender if Amorim’s tenure ends prematurely.
