"With Manchester United sitting sixth in the Premier League, the club's leadership has reluctantly made the decision that it is the right time to make a change. This will give the team the best opportunity of the highest possible Premier League finish. The club would like to thank Ruben for his contribution to the club and wishes him well for the future."
"Amorim's position was thought to be under threat after he appeared to criticise the Red Devils' hierarchy in the aftermath of Sunday's 1-1 away draw with Leeds United. Amorim oversaw 63 games as United boss in all competitions, winning 24, drawing 18 and losing 21. He led the Red Devils to the Europa League final last season, only to oversee a desperately disappointing 1-0 defeat to Premier League rivals Tottenham in Bilbao, meaning the club did not qualify for any European football."
Ruben Amorim was sacked by Manchester United after 14 months in charge, with the club sitting sixth in the Premier League. Amorim had suggested he should act as manager with greater recruitment control rather than remain head coach. Pundits criticised his comments, increasing pressure on his position. Darren Fletcher will serve as interim head coach for the next match. Amorim oversaw 63 games, winning 24, drawing 18 and losing 21, led United to a Europa League final defeat by Tottenham, and was in charge during the club's worst Premier League campaign in 2024-25.
