Manchester United have sacked manager Rúben Amorim after a turbulent 14 months in charge, the club confirmed this morning.
The decision, reportedly finalized in an early board meeting, ends Amorim’s reign at Old Trafford just over a year after his high-profile arrival from Sporting CP.
Sources close to the club describe the parting as abrupt, with Amorim informed of his dismissal before noon.
Amorim’s tenure promised a fresh tactical revolution but delivered mixed results, including a string of disappointing league finishes and early cup exits that eroded fan patience.
United’s hierarchy cited “strategic misalignment” as the key factor, though details remain scarce.
No immediate successor has been named, but speculation is rife about potential targets like England’s Graham Potter or international stars.
United fans, already vocal on social media, reacted with a mix of outrage and relief.
