Amorim Nearly Quit Man U After Poor Start But Stayed for Europa League Final
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim reportedly considered quitting just two months into the job, after a rocky start left him frustrated and under pressure. The Portuguese coach took over from Erik ten Hag in November 2024, stepping into a role loaded with high expectations. But after managing just one win in his first eight games, things quickly turned sour.
According to sources, Amorim was so disappointed after a 3-1 loss to Brighton at Old Trafford that he was ready to resign in January. It reportedly took some serious convincing from close associates to stop him from walking away. While he decided to stay, the team’s form hasn’t improved much. United have suffered 13 defeats in 25 Premier League matches, and Amorim is said to be “deeply embarrassed” by the results.
Despite the struggles, there’s still hope. He has led the team to the Europa League final, where they’ll face Tottenham Hotspur. Winning it could secure both a trophy and a spot in next season’s Champions League. Earlier this year, club leaders including CEO Omar Berrada had to step in and reassure Amorim of their support, encouraging him to keep pushing through the tough period.
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, has revealed that he has mutually agreed to leave FC Seoul and his contract will end. It is reported that he will leave next week.
It can be noted that the footballer joined in February 2024 and has made 66 appearances since then, scoring 18 goals.
The player shared his experience on social media, saying “My time in South Korea has been unbelievable — the football, the atmosphere, and the passion around this club have been top class.”
“The love, support, and appreciation you have shown towards me over these last two years has been truly amazing. I’ll always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a massive club.”
Former footballer, Rio Ferdinand compares Arsenal star player, Bukayo Saka, to Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
When comparing players, he shared that: “When Saka is on it, he looks unplayable,” however he also stated that even with Salah’s stature, he is strong.
He has got the strength like Mohamed Salah. He is small in frame and size when you look at him, but do you ever see him get pushed off the ball?
“You don’t really see people take the ball off him or put him on his arse. He is a strong little guy.”
