According to reports, Manchester United have \u2018identified\u2019 a left-field candidate to replace under-fire head coach Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n
Man Utd<\/strong><\/a> have endured a woeful start to the 2025\/26 campaign as last season\u2019s problems under Amorim have carried over into this term and there is no sign of improvement.<\/p>\n On Saturday, the Red Devils were deservedly beaten 3-1 by Brentford, with a brace from Igor Thiago and late strike from Mathias Jensen condemning the Premier League giants to another damaging defeat.<\/p>\n This result leaves Man Utd 14th in the Premier League<\/strong><\/a>, with Amorim leading the sack race following Graham Potter\u2019s exit from West Ham.\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Naturally, Man Utd are being linked with several managers as potential replacements for Amorim<\/strong><\/a>, with Potter the latest to be mentioned.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0Amorim has to be sacked as De Ligt, Ugarte and Thiago expose inept Man Utd manager<\/a> According to Spanish outlet Fichajes<\/a>, who are renowned for their reliability *wink*, Man Utd have \u2018identified Potter as a possible replacement\u2019 as they are \u2018considering him\u2019 as a successor.<\/p>\n The report adds:<\/p>\n \u2018Faced with persistent poor results, Manchester United\u2019s board has begun to evaluate possible replacements for Ruben Amorim.<\/p>\n \u2018One of the candidates that has gained the most traction is Graham Potter, recently sacked by West Ham United following a series of defeats that left the team second-to-bottom in the Premier League.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n MORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 Former England boss Gareth Southgate has also been regularly linked with Man Utd in recent years and Joe Cole has explained why he thinks he is the \u201cperfect man for the job\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cNo, I don\u2019t think so. He\u2019s had a long enough time to implement what he wants,\u201d Cole said on TNT Sports.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s not just a Ruben Amorim problem; there\u2019s huge issues around the club. But he looks anxious on the bench, he looks worried, and I think that will filter through to the players.<\/p>\n \u201cThe fact he hasn\u2019t won back-to-back league games is a huge concern. They need a different direction in my opinion.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know I don\u2019t like saying that, but for him [Ruben Amorim] as well, he was the bright spark, people were talking about him like the messiah.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought Gareth Southgate was the perfect man for the job in terms of building a culture and understanding the players. They went with Amorim and it doesn\u2019t look like it\u2019s working.\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking after the loss to Brentford, Amorim revealed why he is not \u201cconcerned\u201d about his job at Man Utd.<\/p>\n \u201cI am never concerned about my job \u2013 I am not that kind of guy,\u201d Amorim told BBC Match of the Day.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is not my decision. I will do the best I can every minute I am here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to reports, Manchester United have \u2018identified\u2019 a left-field candidate to replace under-fire head coach Ruben Amorim.
