The future of Ruben Amorim at Old Trafford is becoming increasingly uncertain. The former Sporting coach has a contract until 2027 and his departure would require a compensation payment of around 13.7 million euros. Thus, there is the possibility of postponing a definitive decision until after November 1st, in order to reduce the operation's costs.
The former Sporting coach is experiencing a very negative start to the season, and Manchester United has already started talks with potential successors. According to the British press, the club's co-owner, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has already spoken with Gareth Southgate, the former England manager, about a possible succession.
Besides Southgate, Manchester United's management is also considering the names of Oliver Glasner and Andoni Iraola as options. With only two wins in seven official matches, along with one draw and four losses, the start of the season for the Red Devils is far below expectations.
The team led by Ruben Amorim has not yet managed to win two consecutive games since the former Lion arrived in England. After defeating Chelsea, they lost at Brentford 3-1. This series of results puts the coach "on the edge" and under strong criticism.
Ruben Amorim's team - which had a significant absence - has three losses and one draw in the league, with only two victories. The English league is led by Liverpool with 15 points, who also lost this round against Crystal Palace.
