In a shocking turn of events on Monday evening, Premier League giants Manchester United have officially parted ways with the club’s manager, the 40-year-old Portuguese, Ruben Amorim. Amorim, who took charge of the Red Devils in November 2024, managed them in 62 matches, out of which he won just 24, lost 21, and on 17 occasions shared points with the opponents. United finished 15th in the points table last season and are sixth after 20 matches in the ongoing season.
United’s statement
Manchester United issued a statement on Monday confirming that the club’s leadership has reluctantly decided to make a managerial change, citing that, with the team currently sixth in the Premier League, a new direction offers the best chance of securing the highest possible league finish this season. The club thanked Ruben Amorim for his contribution and wished him well for the future.
