"While the Premier League might have only just got underway, England's elite have already broken up for their first international break of the 2025/26 campaign. Although defending champions Liverpool might have got the defence of their Premier League crown off to a flying start, some of England's heavy hitters have endorsed a hugely worrying start to proceedings. Despite the new campaign only getting underway last month, it has been suggested that a number of top-flight bosses are already fighting to keep hold of their respective jobs. With the Premier League returning from the first fortnight interval next weekend, we have taken a look at some of the managers who are facing a tremendous amount of pressure."
"While Manchester United might have entered September's international break with a dramatic 3-2 victory at home against Premier League returners Burnley, that result doesn't ease any of the pressure on Ruben Amorim 's shoulders at Old Trafford. Although the former Sporting Lisbon boss might have only arrived in the red half of Manchester 10 months ago, Amorim has rightfully come under a huge amount of public scrutiny after failing to find any kind of stability. Suffering an infamous EFL Cup exit away at League Two outfit Grimsby on August 27th, there are many United supporters who feel that the Portuguese tactician is unable to turn things around at Old Trafford."
"Although the Manchester United hierarchy might have backed their man over the summer, Amorim himself has made it clear that he will be forced to leave his post if a dramatic turnaround isn't produced following September's fortnight break. Breaking a string of unwanted records as they slumped their way to a woeful 15th-place finish, things don't get any easier for Amorim or his struggling squad as they travel across Manchester to bitter local foes Man City next weekend."
"I think the players spoke really loudly about what they want today."
Premier League clubs paused for the first 2025/26 international break while several managers face intense early-season scrutiny. Liverpool started strongly, but multiple heavy hitters have delivered worrying performances. Manchester United's Ruben Amorim remains under severe pressure despite a 3-2 win over Burnley and backing from the hierarchy. An EFL Cup exit at League Two side Grimsby intensified fan doubts. Amorim warned he may leave unless a dramatic turnaround occurs after the international break. United enter a difficult fixture away to Manchester City following a string of poor results and a 15th-place finish last season.
