Ruben Amorim addresses rumors about being sacked by Man Utd after their 12th loss in the Premier League

Manchester United manager Rúben Amorim insists he’s “not concerned” about his job, despite a rough start that’s left fans and pundits scratching their heads.

He took over in November after United activated his break clause at Sporting CP, replacing Erik ten Hag. 

The 40‑year‑old carried a reputation for turning Sporting into champions twice in 2020/21 and again in 2023/24 and arriving in England with momentum. But United, in crisis, offered no pre‑season, no transfer window, and expectations higher than ever.

So far? Four Premier League wins, eight losses in 14 games and yet Amorim stands firm.

“I Have No Concerns”

After a painful loss to Tottenham on Sunday, Amorim didn’t mince words:

 “I have no concerns. I know my role, I believe in what I’m doing and I want to win matches.”

There was no deflection. No political post-match praise or blaming injuries. Just a man facing a mess, and facing up to it.

His words cut through the noise and they felt honest.

A Rough Ride Doesn’t Shake His Conviction
Sunday’s defeat was United’s ninth loss in 21 matches under Amorim. In December alone, they lost five times. Yet the anger he confessed? Comes from those defeats pain he says:

 “Today stings… it’s a hard pain to feel so many losses.”

He knows. United fans know. Losing at a place like Old Trafford doesn’t just hurt—it burns. But Amorim says he isn’t afraid of it

Navigating the Storm Without a Map
Amorim’s biggest challenge: there was no smooth transition. No summer to imprint his vision. He’s inherited a squad that can’t drop deep into a rebuild mode and hope to hide results.

Instead, he’s choosing "short-term suffering for long-term gain." Not many managers could make that call but at United, rebuilding isn’t a choice, it’s a necessity.

Pressure Cooker: United’s History and Culture
By Christmas, United slipped to 15th lower than Everton. United haven’t finished that low since the 1973–74 season.

Amorim acknowledges the historical shadow and the weight of Sir Alex Ferguson that looms larger than older stadium walls.

 “It shows how hard this job is… this club was built around one man. When he leaves, everything changes.”

You don’t coach United. You survive United even reforge it.

Why Everton Is Thriving
David Moyes has steadied Everton since his return, picking up four wins in six. When asked why Everton seems reborn and United remain gasping, Amorim made a striking comparison:

 “Moyes is doing a better job than I am. That’s the truth.”

That’s brutal honesty in a world where cliches mask insecurity. But it also shows self-awareness and respect.

Fans, Fury, and Faith
Stroll through social media after United games and you'll find a crunch of frustration. Fans aren’t piling up “manager out” banners yet but the undercurrent is strong. Some still side with Amorim, hopeful that spring will bring stability. Others wonder how long they’ll keep believing.

Loveable Bond or Misguided Loyalty?Amorim says he’s heard fans say he's doing a good job and he’s confused by it. A manager knows their form, their mistakes, their missteps. To hear the support especially at Old Trafford that matters:

 “When fans say ‘you are doing a good job’, it’s strange… but really important.”  

There’s a fragile connection there a bridge he may need to hold onto.

Europa League: Lifeline or Hard Reset?
United lost the Europa League final to Spurs, missing out on Champions League football. That’s a financial hit, £80–100 million in revenue. But Amorim argues there’s a silver lining.

 “We have more time to work… more time to prepare.”  

True, but does that buy forgiveness or only add to the pressure to perform in 2025–26?

The Heart of the Matter: Opportunities Gone
Amorim said they’re creating chances but not finishing them. “Their keeper made saves that’s football.”  

He pointed the finger at small details lost balls, missed finishes. United aren’t being outplayed they’re getting half chances and half answers.

The Dilemma of Conviction vs. Results
Amorim is steering the ship but at what cost? He believes in style, investment, structure. His men need to buy in.

 “We’ve improved in certain areas… but we didn’t score.” 

So what’s next? Tactical tweaks? Squad overhaul? Patience? Ownership backing?

What’s the Next Chapter?
Everton away on Saturday will be a defining moment. Not record-breaking success but redemption. A statement that this season isn’t a washout.

Amorim knows this. The fans know this. And after a season full of raw honesty, the first signs of something more polished might have to show up in May.

WanderlustSport Thought
This season has exposed United’s old wounds structure, identity, leadership.

But digging in, owning problems, comparing yourself honestly to Everton? That’s not cowardice, that’s courage.

Even at the lowest points, if you stand tall reflect, adjust, learn. you will begin to rebuild something that lasts.

And that’s what United need most now: not heroics, but a roadmap. One that starts with accountability, continues with consiste

ncy, and refuses to panic when the storm breaks.
