UNITED'S co-owners, Ineos, are reportedly worried that manager Ruben Amorim might choose to resign before being dismissed in an attempt to preserve his managerial reputation.

Since his appointment at Old Trafford in November 2024, Amorim has had a challenging time.

Despite leading United to the Europa League final last season, where they were defeated by Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao, they finished a disappointing 16th, comfortably outside the European places ensuring his tenure has been fraught with difficulties.

The current season hasn't started well either. Despite a victory over Chelsea prior to their clash with Brentford, Amorim's side have suffered three Premier League defeats and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League Two's Grimsby Town.
