Ruben Amorim’s future as Manchester United manager will not be determined by short-term setbacks or knee-jerk reactions to disappointing results.
According to The Times, club sources insist United remain committed to their long-term vision under Amorim. The Red Devils have set their sights on winning the Premier League by 2028, and the board believes sacking the Portuguese coach now would be a major step backward for that project.
Amorim has endured a turbulent start to the 2025/26 season. Following a shock Carabao Cup defeat to Grimsby Town, he even admitted he had considered resigning. However, United’s hierarchy reportedly dismissed those remarks, expecting resilience and determination rather than signs of surrender.
The club is determined to give Amorim every chance to succeed, with plans to strengthen the squad in the January 2026 transfer window. Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba has emerged as a leading target.
Still, the manager’s job is not without risk. Should Manchester United fail to secure qualification for any European competition by the end of the season, Amorim’s position will come under serious threat. Earning a place in Europe is considered a non-negotiable objective.
