According to reports, Manchester United chiefs are having \u2018doubts\u2019 about head coach Ruben Amorim as they prepare to block an \u2018elite\u2019 January signing.<\/p>\n
Amorim<\/strong> <\/a>has had a turbulent first year at Man Utd, and he is incredibly fortunate to still be in charge.<\/p>\n United<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s current head coach was appointed to replace Erik ten Hag last season, but they slumped to an embarrassing new low as he implemented his preferred 3-4-3 formation. They finished 15th in the Premier League in 2024\/25 and failed to win a trophy.<\/p>\n There were calls for Amorim to be sacked ahead of this season, but INEOS eventually decided to back the 40-year-old, who was given funds to build a team equipped to thrive in his formation.<\/p>\n Man Utd did have a positive summer as they signed Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Senne Lammens, while they raised funds via offloading Marcus Rashford, Rasmus Hojlund, Antony, Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho.<\/p>\n This business and Amorim\u2019s slight tactical tweaks to make Man Utd more direct helped improve results and performances in recent weeks, though they crashed down to earth on Monday night.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0\u2018Ambling\u2019 Luke Shaw among five Man Utd players doomed in 2026<\/a> 10-man Everton ended Man Utd\u2019s five-game unbeaten run in the Premier League at Old Trafford, with David Moyes\u2019 side defending brilliantly against a toothless home side to win 1-0.<\/p>\n Man Utd reverted to type in this performance as they struggled without Sesko and Cunha, while Amorim has come under scrutiny for his poor decisions in the game.<\/p>\n Therefore, United need to bounce back this weekend when they face Crystal Palace, while signings could be needed in January to boost their chances of qualifying for Europe next season.<\/p>\n Their priority is to sign a No.6 after they were priced out of a move for Brighton\u2019s Carlos Baleba in the summer. Nottingham Forest\u2019s Elliot Anderson and Crystal Palace\u2019s Adam Wharton have been mentioned as other potential targets.<\/p>\n However, a new report from an insider on X with over 680k followers and a \u2018team of five elite reporters\u2019 claims<\/a> Man Utd may not sign a midfielder in the winter window as they are concerned that they may \u2018soon\u2019 have to change their manager.<\/p>\n MORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 They said on X:\u00a0Exclusive: Ruben Amorim will be furious if Manchester United doesn\u2019t secure an elite midfielder in January according to sources.<\/p>\n \u2018The pressure is mounting, and doubts are creeping in about whether he can last the season as manager.<\/p>\n \u2018The owners are hesitant to spend big, fearing they might need to bring in a new manager soon.<\/p>\n \u2018Without a top-tier midfielder, the team\u2019s performance will suffer, and Amorim\u2019s position will become even more precarious.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to reports, Manchester United chiefs are having \u2018doubts\u2019 about head coach Ruben Amorim as they prepare to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":598817,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[94,225,98,12,101,99,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-598816","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-home-page","10":"tag-manchester-united","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-premier-league","13":"tag-ruben-amorim","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115626266092048447","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=598816"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598816\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/598817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=598816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=598816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=598816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
