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.

The football legend shared how it is the captain that is bringing the team down, as he is not playing his position properly “That game on Saturday [Arsenal vs Newcastle], I didn’t see all of it, I probably saw the first half an hour, but I think Odegaard is a big problem for them.”
“I love Odegaard, I think he’s brilliant. Technically, he’s great, but he doesn’t play his position properly. Half the time I saw him in the first 20 minutes, he was almost the deepest man.”
