Amorim at risk of being fired

MU may soon have to make a decision on the future of coach Ruben Amorim, after the team was eliminated from the League Cup by Grimsby Town in a penalty shootout on August 28.

Amorim's hot seat at Old Trafford is no longer safe.

At Blundell Park, the "Red Devils" had many opportunities to turn the tables despite being down 0-2. However, the Premier League representative still suffered a bitter defeat with a score of 12-11 in the penalty shootout. The consecutive bad results put increasing pressure on Amorim.

According to The Times , Amorim still has the support of the MU board and will continue to lead the team against Burnley this weekend. Owner Jim Ratcliffe is willing to give him more time to improve the situation. However, Amorim's future is no longer secure.

Sources confirmed that if MU continues to fail to achieve positive results against Burnley, Amorim is at risk of being fired. ESPN added: "With the lowest winning percentage of any MU manager since Sir Alex Ferguson, Amorim is sitting on fire. The loss to Grimsby could be the end of his reign at Old Trafford."

The Times also revealed that Benfica could be a possible destination for this coach if he had to leave the "Theatre of Dreams". The 40-year-old coach once played there and won 3 national championships.

British media said Crystal Palace coach Oliver Glasner and former England coach Gareth Southgate are considered the leading candidates for the hot seat at Old Trafford.
