on November 11, 2024, Ruben Amorim was officially introduced as the new manager of Manchester United. As then a lot has happened to the English record champions.
Dan Ashworth, whose successor could come from Spain, left the club after a few months as sporting director, there was also an internal dispute regarding the Premier League’s LGBTQ + initiative and owner Jim ratcliffe made a very enterprising decision to increase ticket prices.
In addition, he has to get an underperforming team back on track. Amorim obviously imagined all this a little differently. The new coach has a terrible fear: loud ESPN Amorim believes that the job at United is much more complicated than he first thought. In five games under his leadership there were only two wins and one draw.

Amorim does not have many individual conversations with the players, but distributes the tasks to his assistants. The focus on the team is one of the reasons Amorim was happy to support the team’s decision to stop wearing specially made LGBTQ+ jackets before the game against Everton after Noussair mazraoui - a devout Muslim - opted out of religious reasons had decided not to participate.
that’s why Manchester United chose Ruben Amorim
United are said to have chosen Amorim, among other things, because he is said to have had a good relationship with his players at Sporting. The club’s management did not see this as the case with his predecessor Erik ten Hag. With Amorim in a squad with little confidence, team spirit and cohesion are a priority.
it’s always the results that count in football – and so far they haven’t been very promising. In the Premier League, United are still only in 13th place. Six tough games still await the Red Devils before the turn of the year, including Manchester City and Tottenham.
