Ruben Amorim Sacked By Man United

Ruben Amorim has been sacked by Manchester United to end a turbulent spell in charge at Old Trafford after just 14 months, less than 24 hours after going on an explosive rant at the club’s hierarchy.

A flashy hire in November 2024 after a spectacular reign at Sporting, Amorim struggled to implement his preferred 3-4-2-1 system, remaining loyal to it despite apparent alternatives.

Despite improving this term, the 40-year-old Amorim rarely inspired signs of his philosophy bedding in, with United routinely suffering setbacks, including dropped points at home to a Wolves side that had just two points at the time.

Man United confirmed his departure in a short statement on Monday morning, with Darren Fletcher taking charge of the team as interim manager for the Premier League clash with Burnley on Wednesday.

“Ruben Amorim has departed his role as head coach of Manchester United,” read the statement. “Ruben was appointed in November 2024 and led the team to a Uefa Europa League Final in Bilbao in May.

“With Manchester United sitting sixth in the Premier League, the club’s leadership has reluctantly made the decision that it is the right time to make a change. This will give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish.

“The club would like to thank Ruben for his contribution to the club and wishes him well for the future.”
