The fallout from Ruben Amorim’s early departure from Manchester United continues to generate intense debate. Sacked in January after a highly challenging 14-month spell at Old Trafford, the Portuguese manager left behind a divided fanbase and a struggling squad. Now, his close assistant Adelio Candido has broken his silence, shedding light on the internal struggles and tactical roadblocks they faced. Candido argues that the management team was not given the necessary runway to fully execute their long-term vision in the demanding environment of the Premier League.
Just five months ago Oliver Glasner was looking like a serious candidate to be the next Manchester United manager. On the day serious doubts about Ruben Amorim's future began to emerge following the limp defeat at Brentford in late September, Glasner's Crystal Palace beat Liverpool, halting the Red's seven-game winning streak and leaving the Eagles as the only unbeaten team in the Premier League.
The shocking amount Manchester United are set to pay Ruben Amorim and his coaching team has been revealed. The Portuguese was relieved of his managerial duties at Old Trafford on January 5. He took in just 63 games at the helm, over the course of 14 months, with that ill-fated tenure set to cost the Red Devils close to £16 million ($22m).
Just seven weeks after his sudden dismissal from Manchester United, a surprise return to management could already be on the cards for Ruben Amorim. Having been out of work since his 14-month spell at Old Trafford ended, the Portuguese coach has reportedly emerged as a target for Brazilian giants Vasco da Gama to replace the recently sacked Fernando Diniz.
Ruben Amorim has been seen in public for the first time since his departure from Manchester United last month. The Portuguese tactician was spotted in the stands at the Qatar Open in Doha, trading the pressure of the Premier League for a high-stakes tennis showdown involving young superstar Carlos Alcaraz.
Manchester United forward Matheus Cunha has jumped to the defence of Ruben Amorim, insisting the former head coach deserves credit for the club's recent turnaround. Despite Amorim’s January dismissal, the Brazilian believes the foundation for Michael Carrick’s unbeaten run was laid by the Portuguese tactician. Cunha praised Amorim’s character and his role in assembling the current squad at Old Trafford.
Former England international Gary Lineker has jokingly suggested that Kobbie Mainoo should “sue” former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim for taking a year off his career. The 20-year-old midfielder struggled for game time under the Portuguese tactician, leading to transfer talk being generated, but has enjoyed a welcome return to prominence and form under interim Red Devils boss Michael Carrick.
We still have a title race in England! Manchester City's hopes of winning the Premier League looked to be over after they fell behind to another stunning free-kick from Dominik Szoboszlai at Anfield on Sunday, but Pep Guardiola's men produce a sensational fightback to defeat Liverpool 2-1 and close the game to leaders Arsenal to just six points.
Former Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has been told that Kobbie Mainoo's form is 'very embarrassing' for him after failing to get the best out of the England midfielder when he was in charge at Old Trafford. Mainoo made only a handful of appearances this season with Amorim in the dugout, but has started all four of United's wins under new boss Michael Carrick.
Ruben Amorim's arrival at Manchester United may have inadvertently helped rivals Manchester City due to his strong relationship with director of football Hugo Viana, according to a new report. The two worked previously at Sporting and developed a close relationship before both made the move to England. Viana has been able to adapt to life with the Premier League club quickly and has played an important role in the club's recent transfers.
Former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has reportedly decided to delay his public response to his sacking until the summer to avoid derailing the club's season. The 41-year-old will break his silence once the campaign concludes, refusing to disrupt interim boss Michael Carrick’s desperate bid to secure Champions League football for the Red Devils.
Alan Shearer has launched a scathing attack on former Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim, labelling the Portuguese coach "arrogant" for his refusal to adapt his tactics at Old Trafford. The Newcastle legend believes Michael Carrick's stunning start to life in the dugout highlights the failures of his predecessor, who was sacked earlier this month after refusing to abandon his back-three system despite poor results.
Manchester United's academy stars and their parents are reportedly delighted that Michael Carrick has replaced recently sacked head coach Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese hit out at the "entitlement" of some of the club's youth products, while defending his decision to keep young talent Kobbie Mainoo out of the first team. Now that Carrick is at the helm, some families have been encouraged by his "lovely and welcoming" style.
Michael Carrick’s first game back in charge of Manchester United was a euphoric occasion, with his side’s dominant win over Manchester City bringing a smile to every person present at Old Trafford. Well, almost every person. Benjamin Sesko did not get on the pitch during the 2-0 win, raising questions about his place in Carrick’s thoughts and his team for the rest of the season.
Michael Carrick has hailed Kobbie Mainoo's "quality" and admits he is enjoying working with the young Manchester United midfielder. The 20-year-old was relegated to being a fringe player under former Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim as he did not quite fit into his 3-4-3 system. However, it appears that the England international will get more of a chance under interim boss Carrick.
Michael Carrick has wasted no time stamping his authority on Manchester United, implementing six key behind-the-scenes changes that have already highlighted the shortcomings of his predecessor, Ruben Amorim. From matchday routines to academy integration, the interim boss has impressed both players and staff in his first week, culminating in a morale-boosting derby victory over Manchester City and a clear shift in culture at Carrington.
