Ruben Amorim is being backed to make a sensational return to the Premier League a matter of days after his departure from Manchester United was announced. The Portuguese lasted just 14 months at Old Trafford, as he refused to change his tactical approach, but is being mooted by Sol Campbell as a potential Tottenham manager of the not too distant future.

Manchester United have reached an agreement with Michael Carrick that will see him take over as the club’s interim boss through to the end of the 2025-26 campaign. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had been in the running to fill that post, but the Norwegian will not be returning for a second spell at the Old Trafford helm. Carrick should be in charge for a derby date with Manchester City on Saturday.

Manchester United director of football Jason Wilcox has told the squad a new target for the season following the recent sacking of head coach Ruben Amorim. The Red Devils currently sit seventh in the Premier League table but are now without a permanent manager, with Darren Fletcher acting as interim boss. Wilcox reportedly clashed with Amorim at the end of his reign and has now detailed a new primary aim for the remainder of 2025-26.

A big decision from Manchester United on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could impact Marcus Rashford’s future as a Red Devils player, claims Gary Pallister. England international Rashford is currently taking in a season-long loan at La Liga giants Barcelona. He could, however, be absorbed back into the fold at Old Trafford over the summer if a familiar face inherits the managerial reins.

Ruben Amorim returned to his native Portugal on Saturday just five days after his sacking as Manchester United head coach, with the 40-year-old spotted grinning after touching down in his homeland. United parted ways with the former Sporting CP boss on Monday after 14 months in charge at Old Trafford, with Darren Fletcher taking over as interim head coach and Amorim's future path very much undecided.
