Rúben Amorim under threat? Press reveals future of former Benfica man

Despite the rough patch that Manchester United is going through since the start of the current season, Rúben Amorim seems to have a secure position, for now. It appears that the former Benfica player continues to have the support of the Red Devils' management, who are willing to keep the coach for this season .

Thus, according to The Athletic, even if Manchester United is defeated by Sunderland in the match taking place this Saturday, Amorim's position as coach will not be at risk. The same source assures that the decision to dispense with the services of the ex-Benfica player will be up to the co-owner of the English emblem, Sir Jim Ratcliffe .

However, The Athletic goes further and suggests that, despite the decision being his, the director is open to receiving advice from other key figures in Manchester United's structure , namely the Glazer family, the club's CEO, Omar Berrada, or Jason Wilcox, the sporting director of the Old Trafford emblem.

The English daily reveals that Ratcliffe continues to be a staunch defender of Rúben Amorim and, due to the fact that the Portuguese arrived during the last season, is willing to hold on to Amorim for the entire 2025/26 season, in order to see if he can recover the essence of the club , lost since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.

Therefore, the match against Sunderland - where the ex-Benfica player once again stressed that the tactical system is not a problem - will not have an immediate impact on the future of Rúben Amorim. Having a forgettable start to the season, the Red Devils take to the field this afternoon, October 4, where they will face the Bobcats, who are currently in 5th position in the Premier League .
