Ruben Amorim has stated that he will not alter his concept of football, and Manchester United executives have no intention of replacing the head coach.
The club has a long-term plan, and even while there is clear and increasing dissatisfaction with the results, there won’t be a hasty decision or frequent review of the head coach’s future following each loss, no matter how loud the clamor outside.
Since Sir Alex Ferguson left 12 years ago, there have been two caretakers and eight ‘substantive’ bosses. There is no desire to start afresh with a ninth.
That said, Amorim desperately needs a performance and a more positive result against Chelsea this weekend, live on Sky Sports, otherwise the clamour for his sacking will only grow.
With four points from their opening four games, United have endured their worst start to a Premier League season since 1992/93. They also went out of the Carabao Cup – one of only three competitions they had the chance to win in 2025-26 – against Grimsby Town of League Two.
This, after last season which saw their lowest ever Premier League points tally (42), and their most Premier League defeats (15).
Amorim acknowledges and understands the supporters are hurting, but he says he is suffering still more as he battles to turn things around.
