Should MU fire coach Amorim?

On the morning of May 22, Manchester United entered the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur, carrying the hope of somewhat salvaging a terrible season by winning a major title and a place in next season's Champions League.

However, under the leadership of Ruben Amorim, the "Red Devils" showed another disappointing performance, similar to what they have shown in the Premier League in the past few months.

Hard to defend

Despite a few late chances, the Red Devils rarely troubled Tottenham's defence in the match, a task that clearly falls to Amorim, who spent seven months in charge of Manchester United.

The excuse that Amorim needs more time to help Manchester United is no longer valid. No one expects the Old Trafford side to be as good as Liverpool or Barcelona, ​​but they cannot be as bad as they are now.

United's problems have been simmering for months - even on their way to the Europa League final - as they often struggled against weaker opponents.

In the domestic arena, Man United has not earned 40 points in the Premier League and is currently ranked 16th on the rankings, with only one round left until the end of the season.

In 2025 in the Premier League, Manchester United have only won against three relegated teams - Leicester City, Ipswich and Southampton - all at home, along with a win away to Fulham.

The defeat to Tottenham was the "Red Devils" 20th defeat this season, proving a season to forget, and also showing how Amorim's football style has gone astray.

Amorim has not been able to help MU progress.

Before the final, there was a view that Amorim would not be under pressure to be sacked even if United lost to Tottenham. However, a poor performance in Bilbao has changed everything.

Difficult

Immediately after the final, Ruben Amorim declared: "If the board and the fans feel I am not suitable for Manchester United, I will leave tomorrow!".

It was a strong message, showing that this coach was ready to take responsibility for the team. However, the reality showed that after the loss to Tottenham, Amorim's confidence was shaken violently.

Amorim now faces a host of questions, from his transfer strategy to how he runs his system. Was his insistence on using a three-man defence the main reason for Manchester United's dismal performance?

Is Amorim worthy of continuing his job? Because if they continue to put their trust in the coach in the summer transfer window of 2025, MU will have to buy players according to this strategist's wishes. It should be remembered that last season, MU also made a similar mistake with Ten Hag, leading to the dismissal of this coach at the beginning of the 2024/25 season.

Of course, with less than a year at Old Trafford, Amorim deserves another chance. But the pressure on this coach in the early stages of next season will be huge.

Marmoush's masterpiece helps Man City get closer to a ticket to the Champions League. In the early morning of May 21, Man City defeated Bournemouth 3-1 at home, thereby touching a ticket to the Champions League next season.
