Rúben Amorim under threat? Press reveals future of former Benfica man | OneFootball

Despite the tough times Manchester United is going through since the start of the current season, Rúben Amorim seems to have his position secure, for now. It appears that the former Benfica player continues to have the support of the Red Devils' management, who are willing to keep the coach throughout the current season.

Thus, according to The Athletic, even if Manchester United is defeated by Sunderland in the match taking place this Saturday, Amorim's position as coach will not be at risk. The same source assures that the decision to dismiss the former Benfica player will be up to the co-owner of the English club, Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

However, The Athletic goes further, stating that, despite the decision being his, the executive is open to receiving advice from other prominent figures within Manchester United's structure, namely the Glazer family, the club's CEO, Omar Berrada, or Jason Wilcox, the sporting director of the Old Trafford club.

The English daily reveals that Ratcliffe remains a staunch supporter of Rúben Amorim and, due to the fact that the Portuguese coach arrived during the last season, he is willing to keep Amorim throughout the entire 2025/26 season to see if he can restore the club's essence, which has been lost since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure in 2013.

Therefore, the match against Sunderland - where the former Benfica player reiterated that the tactical system is not an issue - will not have an immediate impact on Rúben Amorim's future. Having a season start to forget, the Red Devils take the field this afternoon, October 4, where they will face the Bobcats, who are in 5th position in the Premier League.
