Manchester United’s season has taken a worrying turn, and with every passing week, the spotlight grows brighter on Rúben Amorim. The Portuguese coach, who arrived at Old Trafford with so much expectation, is now battling both poor results and mounting pressure from the stands.
Softfootball understands that Amorim, despite the criticism and noise around his future, is keeping his composure. He insists he isn’t worried about losing his job and remains determined to fight for success at the club. Still, the numbers don’t paint a flattering picture.
For many supporters, this is a bitter pill to swallow. United fans had hoped Amorim’s tactical brilliance at Sporting Lisbon would translate seamlessly to the Premier League. Instead, they have been left questioning whether his style fits the chaos and intensity of English football. Softfootball earlier reported that Amorim currently holds the worst win rate of any United manager since World War II — a shocking record for a club of such stature.
But Amorim is not giving up easily. Softfootball understands he sees his role as a long-term challenge rather than a quick fix. According to top journalist Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle, Amorim made his feelings crystal clear when asked about the pressure, he stated:
Rúben Amorim: It’s a dream for me to be here at Man United and I want to continue. I want to fight for this.
Ruben Amorim has come under alot of pressure and criticism and one of the major talking point is his team selections, Manchester United via their official X handle, earlier today posted an exclusive video showing the united boss explaining his reason behind the selections against Sunderland, watch video below;
Those words carry the tone of a man who knows the stakes but refuses to walk away. Whether the board and fans will give him the time to fight his way out of this difficult spell is another matter entirely. In football, patience is a rare commodity, and at Manchester United, it is almost nonexistent.
The next few games may ultimately decide whether Amorim’s dream continues or fades into another chapter of United’s post-Ferguson struggle.
