"Or was the writing on the wall at Grimsby in late August, tactics board, not watching the penalties, humiliating cup exit and all that?

I came here to be the manager of Manchester United not to be the coach of Manchester United. That is clear."
"I know my name is not Tuchel, Mourinho or Conte but I'm the manager. It's going to be like this for 18 months or until the board decide to change. I'm not going to quit, I will do my job until another guy is coming here to replace me. Amorim watches on during United's 1-1 draw at Leeds, which proved to be his final game in charge."
Ruben Amorim left Manchester United after a turbulent spell that featured a humiliating Carabao Cup exit at Grimsby and public criticism over tactics. He declared he was the manager and not the coach, refused to quit, and warned he would remain for 18 months or until the board made a change. Amorim's final match was a 1-1 draw at Leeds. He finished with a win ratio below 39% and 1.24 Premier League points per game, losing more matches than he won in 2025. United sat sixth in the league, three points off fourth, and the club cited a leadership decision to change to give the team the best chance of a higher finish.
