"Manchester United's turbulent start to the 2025/26 campaign has already raised questions over Ruben Amorim's future at Old Trafford. After heavy summer investment, expectations were high for the Portuguese tactician to deliver both results and performances. Instead, United find themselves with just two Premier League wins so far, and their season hit a new low when they were dumped out of the Carabao Cup by League Two side Grimsby Town. Naturally, speculation over possible successors has begun, and one name attracting attention is Oliver Glasner, currently in charge of Crystal Palace."
"There is certainly appreciation for names like Oliver Glasner, but the sign that Amorim is still being backed is that there has been no outreach yet. There's been no shortlisting yet. There hasn't even, to my knowledge, been any succession planning yet. Manchester United still want to try and make it work with Ruben Amorim. That's why he is likely to get a few more games, at least, before some of these other names perhaps come a bit more seriously to the fore if results don't go according to plan for Amorim."
Manchester United have managed only two Premier League wins so far in 2025/26 and suffered a Carabao Cup exit to League Two side Grimsby Town. Heavy summer investment raised expectations for improved results and performances under Ruben Amorim. Oliver Glasner has emerged in speculation as a possible replacement, but no formal approach, shortlisting, or succession planning has been made toward him. Glasner is admired by influential figures, including minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe. The club continues to back Amorim in the short term, but that support depends on immediate results and a push for European qualification, preferably the Champions League.
