Overview

• Emmanuel Petit and other pundits say the club is likely to review Ruben Amorim’s position during the international break, though he remains in post for now.
• United’s poor start includes defeat to Arsenal, a draw at Fulham, and a Carabao Cup exit on penalties to League Two Grimsby, followed by a stoppage‑time win over Burnley.
• Amorim publicly admitted he sometimes wants to quit and at other times stay long term, comments that drew criticism for being too honest.
• Former figures have questioned his presentation and body language, with Mick Brown calling it an “absolute disgrace,” and Paul Scholes objecting to his post‑Grimsby messaging.
• Jamie Carragher argued Amorim’s charisma and looks have helped him avoid the sack despite results, while reports note INEOS has offered public backing as pivotal fixtures approach, starting with Manchester City on September 14.
