Overview
- OneFootball, citing Ben Jacobs via GiveMeSport, reports Sir Jim Ratcliffe would more seriously consider removing Rúben Amorim if United appear likely to miss out on Champions League places.
- CaughtOffside reports an end‑of‑season review is planned and suggests it is unlikely Amorim will be dismissed before then, with European qualification framed as the key benchmark.
- United suffered a 3-0 defeat to Manchester City and sit 14th after four league matches with one win, one draw and two losses, marking their worst start to a campaign in 33 years.
- Despite a reported £193.8m spend on Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, United have only one open‑play goal across six hours of league football, with Cunha unavailable for the derby and Mason Mount also sidelined.
- No formal moves to identify replacements have been reported, and the hierarchy’s support is said to be underpinned by improved underlying metrics highlighted by the Telegraph.
