Amorim has three years to save Red Devils

October 10, 2025

RUBEN Amorim has been given three years to prove himself at Manchester United after co-owner Jim Ratcliffe insisted he will not make a knee-jerk decision about the under-fire manager's future.

Amorim has endured constant speculation about his job throughout this season as United lurched from one crisis to another. The former Sporting Lisbon boss, hired by Ratcliffe in November 2024, admitted earlier this term that he had considered quitting during United's darkest moments.

United finished 15th in the Premier League last season - their lowest topflight finish since 1973/74 - and missed a chance to qualify for the Champions League after losing the Europa League final to fellow strugglers Tottenham.

Tenth-placed United have fared little better this season, losing three of their first seven league games and suffering a shock League Cup defeat at fourth-tier Grimsby.

Amorim has yet to record successive Premier League wins since replacing the sacked Erik ten Hag, with a trip to champions Liverpool next up after the international break.
