Under-Fire Amorim Keeps United Backing as Reports Point to Manager Search

British reports say the club is evaluating Oliver Glasner, Fabian Hürzeler and Andoni Iraola as possible successors.

Overview

  • Saturday’s 1-3 defeat to Brentford marked Manchester United’s 17th Premier League loss in 33 games under Ruben Amorim.
  • United maintains its public support for Amorim, whose deal runs to summer 2026 after being personally selected by co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
  • Reports citing The Sun say Oliver Glasner is viewed as the leading option, with his FA Cup win at Crystal Palace and Europa League title at Eintracht Frankfurt noted, though his system mirrors Amorim’s.
  • United sits 14th in the table despite spending nearly €300 million in the summer, following last season’s 15th-place finish, the club’s worst since 1974.
  • Club greats Wayne Rooney and Gary Neville voiced serious concerns about the direction under Amorim, while the manager insisted he remains optimistic and determined to turn results around.
