Manchester United\u2019s hierarchy remain publicly supportive of Ruben Amorim despite a run of concerning results and persistent rumours about his future. Multiple reports suggest the club could allow Amorim to complete the 2025\u201326 season, with figures at the club prepared to give him time to deliver.<\/p>\n
Amorim openly accepted that the goals his side conceded from long balls this weekend were the exact scenarios they had prepared for over the previous week. Those defensive lapses are set against a record that shows United have not won a Premier League away game since March and that, since Amorim took over last November, no team has conceded the first goal as often as United (21 times).<\/p>\n
Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, who oversees all sporting matters at the club, is reported by the Daily Mail to be \u201crefusing to panic\u201d and prepared to stick by Amorim. BBC Sport adds that Ratcliffe will judge the manager only after he has had a \u201cfull season\u201d with \u201cthe right team.\u201d Amorim has managed 49 matches at United since his appointment and was backed in this summer\u2019s transfer window.<\/p>\n
The reports arrive amid speculation about a list of potential successors allegedly drawn up by the club. Names such as Sir Gareth Southgate and Graham Potter, the latter described as freshly sacked by West Ham United, have been mentioned in those rumours. Both outlets strongly refute that United are considering any replacements.<\/p>\n
United were aiming to record back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time under Amorim on Saturday but failed to do so, and the side still have not collected two top-flight wins in the same month since January.<\/p>\n
When confronted with those figures, Amorim remained defiant. \u201cI am never concerned about my job\u2014I am not that kind of guy,\u201d he shrugged to Match of the Day. \u201cIt is not my decision. I will do the best I can every minute I am here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
