It’s not for financial reasons, as some claim, but rather Ruben Amorim’s continued leadership of Manchester United stems from the desire and confidence of the English club’s management.
United is experiencing its worst start to a Premier League season in 33 years, and calls for Amorim’s dismissal continue after his failure to make any significant contribution over the course of a full year.
According to the Daily Mail, Amorim enjoys the absolute confidence of United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, which is why the idea of sacking him has not even been discussed yet.
Ratcliffe believes that Amorim needs a full season with his chosen team before he can be held accountable. He believes it is too early to judge the experience given the poor start to the current season, especially since the season is still long.
This means that even if United loses to Sunderland before the international break, Amorim will likely stay and not leave. The Portuguese manager will only be dismissed if a catastrophe occurs or the team collapses completely, competing for the lower Premier League spots.
Despite Ratcliffe’s confidence, the option of sacking Amorim could surface if the poor results continue due to massive fan pressure. In this context, it is reported that a party within the club’s management has already begun searching for a successor to the coach.
