"Ruben Amorim inherited the United side in their worst-ever start to a season, on the back of their worst finish to a Premier League campaign the season before."
"His stubbornness to shift from his 3-4-3 system was a factor in the lack of consistency at the club, an issue which ultimately saw him replaced two months ago."
"Saudi Arabia are already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, drawn in Group H with Cape Verde, Uruguay and Spain."
"It's understood that there is the potential for Renard to leave before the tournament begins, with the side needing a new manager before June 2026."
Ruben Amorim's time at Manchester United concluded in January 2026 after a challenging year. He joined from Sporting CP during a difficult period for the club. Despite previous success in Lisbon, Amorim's rigid adherence to a 3-4-3 formation contributed to inconsistency, leading to his dismissal. Michael Carrick has since taken over, with calls for his permanent appointment. Amorim's future remains uncertain, with potential links to the Benfica job and interest from the Saudi Arabia national team, who are seeking a new manager ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
