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.
Jose Mourinho has aimed a thinly-veiled jibe at former club Manchester United after they named Michael Carrick as their new interim head coach until the end of the season. The Benfica boss has expressed his “surprise” at the appointment of the former Middlesbrough manager, who was part of the Portuguese’s coaching staff during his period in charge of the Red Devils.
The words, "It's Carrick, you know, it's hard to believe it's not Scholes" reverberated around Old Trafford during Manchester United's stunning 2-0 win over Manchester City on Saturday, and watching the Red Devils tear into their local rivals with gusto while putting the ball in the net five times, it was hard to believe that Ruben Amorim was in charge of this team for so long but never got them to play like this.
Antonio Conte has slammed sacked Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim’s “arrogant” handling of Rasmus Hojlund, accusing the Portuguese of failing to “adapt” his rigid methods to the striker’s qualities. The Denmark international has been in fine form since swapping Old Trafford for Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, scoring nine goals in all competitions for the Serie A side.
New Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has been urged to be wary of repeating one of Ruben Amorim's mistakes at Manchester United after taking the reins at Stamford Bridge. Despite arriving as a young coach with a burgeoning reputation, Amorim lasted just 14 months in the Old Trafford hotseat before being sacked at the start of 2026 in the wake of an outburst against the club's board.
Manchester United have been urged to consider Carlo Ancelotti when identifying candidates to become the club’s next permanent manager. The Red Devils are back in the market for a new head coach after taking the decision to part with Ruben Amorim. A man who knows all about life at Old Trafford believes that current Brazil boss Ancelotti would return a “winning culture” to Premier League heavyweights.
It is reported that Ruben Amorim was ready to resign a matter of days before Manchester United brought his testing 14-month spell as Red Devils boss to a close. Having struggled to make the desired impact at Old Trafford, the Portuguese tactician was prepared to fall on his sword and walk away. With the decision eventually being taken to sack the 40-year-old, he has cost Premier League heavyweights £12 million ($16m) in compensation.
Antonio Conte has seemingly hit out at Ruben Amorim and Manchester United for their handling of striker Rasmus Hojlund, who is currently enjoying a loan spell with Serie A side Napoli. The Danish striker had a tough second season at Old Trafford and was sent to Italy as Amorim preferred summer signing Benjamin Sesko, who has scored five goals in 19 appearances for the Red Devils so far. Amorim has since been sacked and replaced by Michael Carrick, who will preside over the club for the remainder of the campaign.
