Manchester United Ruben Amorim Sacking Analysis
According to Reuters, Amorim's statistics reflect a difficult period for the 20-time English champions. Since his arrival in November 2024, he secured only 24 wins in 63 games. While he led the team to the UEFA Europa League final in May 2025, the team's current standing at 6th place in the Premier League proved insufficient to keep his job.
The final blow came after a 1-1 draw against Leeds United on Sunday. In a fiery post-match conference, Amorim challenged the club's scouting department and sporting director, demanding they "do their job." This public outburst regarding transfer plans and internal "selective information" seemingly sealed his fate with the club's leadership.
Darren Fletcher Takes Interim Charge
Former player and academy coach Darren Fletcher has been appointed on an interim basis. He will lead the squad for the upcoming fixture against Burnley this Wednesday. United hasn't won a league title since 2013, and the search for a permanent successor to restore the club's glory continues.
