Reactions Pour In Following Amorim’s Dismissal from Man United

Ruben Amorim has been dismissed from his role as head coach of Manchester United after 14 months.

The decision comes amid ongoing disagreements with the board and a series of poor results. The tense post-match press conference following the recent draw at Leeds marked a turning point for his tenure.

Manchester United consistently generates significant interest, and reactions to Amorim’s departure have quickly appeared online.

After the draw at Leeds, Amorim stated he came to Manchester United to be the ‘manager’ rather than just the ‘head coach’. However, his record does not reflect success in that role…

Amorim’s record at Manchester United over 14 months is the worst for any manager since Frank O’Farrell in the early 1970s. 😬

Ruben Amorim moved away from the key principles that Manchester United stands for – including playing with width, taking risks, and focusing on academy players – leading to the club’s worst results in over 50 years.
