Amorim still in the job, but a top contender linked to Man United | OneFootball

Although he has not yet been dismissed from Manchester United, there are already those who have shown willingness to take Ruben Amorim's place. The former Sporting coach is experiencing difficult times with the Red Devils, having even lost another game last Saturday, September 27, against Brentford

According to information reported by Fabrizio Romano, Xavi Hernández has shown interest in becoming the new manager at Old Trafford, should the 40-year-old Portuguese coach eventually be dismissed or offer his resignation. The Spaniard has not managed any team since his departure from Barcelona in June 2024.

Even so, he is not the only name being considered to succeed Ruben Amorim as Manchester United's head coach. The English press has already put forward possible successors for the position, with the name Gareth Southgate, former England manager, appearing in several publications, as well as Olivier Glasner (Crystal Palace), Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton), and Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth) as options.

The Red Devils' own coach does not seem concerned about his possible dismissal, as he revealed in his statements to the press after the defeat to Brentford: “I'm never worried about my job, I'm not that kind of person. That decision is not mine. I will do my best every minute I am here.”

Ruben Amorim's Manchester United has three defeats and one draw in the league, with only two victories at the start of the Premier League. The English league is led by Liverpool with 15 points, who also lost this round against Crystal Palace.
