It's been a month since Ruben Amorim left the managerial position at Manchester United, following a first half of the season that fell below expectations. The draw against Leeds United at Elland Road and the subsequent press conference hastened the end of the connection between the Portuguese coach and the English club.

Despite the anticipation in England for a possible public statement from the former Benfica - who has a former champion joining the Turkish League -, the coach has chosen to remain silent. According to the British newspaper Daily Mail, this stance is expected to continue at least until the end of the 2025/26 season, a decision aimed at not interfering with the work of his successor at Old Trafford.

The same publication cites a source close to the coach to justify the choice, highlighting Amorim's intention to respect the ongoing process at Manchester United. Michael Carrick, who took over the position, started positively, with three consecutive victories in his first matches at the helm of the team.

The former England international defeated Manchester City 2-0 at Old Trafford, won against Arsenal 3-2 at the Emirates Stadium, and overcame Fulham 3-2, again at home. These results allowed the Red Devils to climb to fourth place in the Premier League, with 41 points after 24 matches.

With the championship entering a decisive phase, Manchester United now focuses on hosting Tottenham for the 25th round of the Premier League. The match is scheduled for Saturday at 12:30 PM at Old Trafford, a time when the Red Devils are looking to consolidate their position for Champions League qualification.
