Manchester United have announced the dismissal of head coach Ruben Amorim after a disappointing run. The decision follows a sequence of flat performances and growing concern about the team’s direction.
In their official statement, United confirmed Amorim’s immediate departure from all first-team responsibilities. The club said the decision came after “a thorough internal review of recent results and performances.” They thanked Amorim for his “professionalism, dedication and commitment during his time at Old Trafford.”
Press Statement Emphasises Respect and Ambition
United’s statement stressed that the move was driven by long-term ambition rather than short-term panic. Moreover, the board highlighted its responsibility to maintain “standards expected of Manchester United supporters worldwide.” The club reiterated its belief in the current squad’s potential, despite recent setbacks.
According to the statement, players were informed before the public announcement to ensure respect and clarity. United also confirmed Amorim’s backroom staff would leave “by mutual agreement” as part of the restructuring. However, they insisted the decision was “not taken lightly” and followed extensive internal discussions.

Attention Turns to United’s Next Step
In the same communication, United appointed an interim coach from within the existing technical team. The club promised a “comprehensive and diligent search” for Amorim’s permanent successor. Fans now debate whether the board moved too quickly or simply acted decisively.
Yet many supporters welcome a reset, hoping for clearer tactics and stronger dressing-room leadership. Pundits argue Amorim never fully translated his previous success into Premier League consistency. Nonetheless, his supporters believe he lacked time and complete backing during challenging periods.
Looking ahead, United emphasised unity, urging fans to “stand behind the players and staff.” The statement closed with a familiar pledge: to return the club to sustainable, elite success. As speculation intensifies, one question dominates Manchester: who will lead United’s next chapter?
