Ruben Amorim held a family gathering at Manchester United's training complex just 24 hours after their latest humiliating defeat. The Red Devils were beaten by Brentford at the weekend, ratcheting up the pressure on Amorim, whose side now sit 14th in the Premier League table.
Manchester United are reportedly considering appointing former midfielder Michael Carrick as caretaker manager for a second time if struggling boss Ruben Amorim is sacked. The United boss is under increasing pressure after a disappointing start to the season and minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe could turn to a familiar face to steady the ship at Old Trafford.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim says his struggling team need more "crazy guys" to help them get back on track. The Red Devils have suffered an underwhelming start to the new Premier League campaign and currently sit down in 14th place in the table despite a summer that saw Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo arrive at Old Trafford.
Ruben Amorim has been accused of "killing Benjamin Sesko's confidence" amid the Manchester United striker's slow start to life at Old Trafford. The Slovenian arrived from RB Leipzig this summer carrying the weight of expectation, tipped to solve United’s long-standing striker crisis. However, the 21-year-old has only scored once in his first seven appearances and is already being branded another expensive flop.
Jurgen Klopp has brutally roasted Manchester United, with the former Liverpool boss able to laugh at the struggles being endured by his former arch-rivals.

Phil Jones has ranked a sacked Manchester United manager above Liverpool boss Arne Slot, Tottenham's Thomas Frank and current Red Devils head coach Ruben Amorim.

Manchester United have reportedly made a shock decision on Tyrell Malacia's future as Ruben Amorim's side continue to struggle in the Premier League. The Portuguese coach is facing mounting pressure after overseeing three losses in the Red Devils' first six Premier League games of the new season. United were humbled 3-1 by Brentford at the weekend, blowing the chance to record back-to-back league wins for the first time under Amorim after beating Chelsea in their previous outing.
To outsiders, the fact that Manchester United have not sacked Ruben Amorim yet is one of the great mysteries of our time. There have been several occasions when the Portuguese would have been given his marching orders at many other top clubs. Can you imagine Real Madrid sticking with a coach that had lost eight out of 12 league games between last December and February?
Manchester United have been told that Ruben Amorim's stint at Old Trafford has been a "disaster" and that the Portuguese manager's sacking is inevitable. United have lost three out of their first six Premier League matches in the 2025-26 campaign, which led to questions being raised about Amorim's system and his future with the Red Devils has also come under the scanner.
Ruben Amorim has been brutally told that he "bluffed his way into a job" at Manchester United, with his gift of the gab allowing a prominent Premier League post to be secured. The Portuguese tactician, after impressing in his homeland with Sporting, was handed the reins at Old Trafford in November 2024. A baptism of fire in English football has been endured since then, leading to plenty of uncomfortable questions being asked.
Following Manchester United's defeat to Brentford and his Crystal Palace side beating Liverpool, Oliver Glasner has been asked for his opinion on the rumours linking him with Old Trafford.

The ongoing struggles of Manchester United have Wayne Rooney in meltdown, with the club's all-time leading goalscorer calling out underperforming players and an ownership group that lacks leadership.
