Amorim once asked to leave MU after only 2 months

Amorim almost left MU after only 2 months in power.

The Portuguese tactician took over the Old Trafford hot seat in November 2024, after Erik ten Hag left, with the task of reviving a disappointing season. However, he only won 1 victory in his first 8 matches leading the "Red Devils".

According to ESPN , after a 1-3 home defeat to Brighton, Amorim thought about resigning. After careful consideration at the beginning of the year, Amorim was encouraged and supported by the club's leaders, including CEO Omar Berrada, to help the team revive.

The Red Devils' board believed that Amorim was the best person to take on this difficult task. However, since then, things have not improved much as MU have suffered 13 defeats in 25 Premier League matches, making the Portuguese coach feel very "ashamed" of the poor performance.

British media revealed that the club's co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is still worried that the former Sporting Lisbon coach may decide to quit after a chaotic season. Amorim recently admitted that he was responsible for "the worst team in United's history" at the moment.

Despite MU's poor performance, Amorim still led the team to the Europa League final. The "Red Devils" will face Tottenham in a decisive match, with the title and a ticket to the Champions League on May 22.
