Amorim faces a survival problem at Man Utd

When he accepted to join the team at Old Trafford, Amorim must have understood how terrible the pressure was. The shadow of Sir Alex Ferguson, along with the failures of top strategists like Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho, was a big challenge for a young coach like Amorim.

No Time for Amorim

Over the past decade, MU has seen many managers come and go quickly. When Amorim was chosen to replace Erik ten Hag, many fans were worried. After the 2024/25 season with the worst results in the club's history, people are even more skeptical about the Portuguese coach's ability.

Right now, the "blockbuster" contracts are constantly appearing at Old Trafford, overshadowing everything here. But behind the glitz of expensive recruits, the question now is: What will Amorim do? Will he still be in charge by Christmas?

There is one factor that does not directly affect, but affects Amorim’s future at MU. That is the constant change from the upper management. Many coaches and players come and go, but the constant change is the clearest sign of poor management at the top leadership group.

Amorim was given a lot of power, with absolute trust from the leadership. But looking at the example of Ten Hag, Amorim knew that he did not have much time left.

Ten Hag was even more successful than Amorim, winning the League Cup and the FA Cup. But after a poor start to the 2024/25 season, the former Ajax coach was sacked. There is no room for patience in modern football. If he fails to prove himself worthy of staying at Old Trafford, Amorim will have to find a new club.

Is Amorim suitable for MU?

The real work of building a team according to Amorim's vision only began this summer. A few months is not enough to get the machine running smoothly, especially considering the mess Amorim inherited when he arrived late last year.

Amorim's most sensible approach is to use the start of this season to plan for the next, taking steady steps to ensure sustainability in every position.

New recruits like Benjamin Sesko bring hope to MU fans.

The coming months will be a crucial test for the former Sporting boss. The way United played in the second half of last season has failed to convince the club’s fans. Amorim must find a way to prove that the 3-4-2-1 system suits the quality of players United currently have.

Signing players of Amorim's choosing could strengthen his position, but it also means the Portuguese coach will no longer have any excuses if he fails.

Not participating in the European Cup this season is an ideal opportunity for Amorim to assemble new elements. There have been positive changes behind the scenes at MU, but everything will be meaningless if the "Red Devils" continue to perform poorly on the field.

United's future now depends on whether they can escape the shadow of the past, accept reality, and give Amorim a real chance to build a new empire.
