Amorim not sacked yet, but a top contender already linked to Man United

Although he has not yet been dismissed from Manchester United , there are already those who are showing interest in taking Ruben Amorim's place . The former Sporting coach is experiencing challenging times with the Red Devils, having lost another game last Saturday, September 27, against Brentford.

According to information provided by Fabrizio Romano, Xavi Hernández has shown interest in becoming the new manager of the Old Trafford club , should the 40-year-old Portuguese coach eventually be dismissed or resign. The Spaniard has not been in charge of any team since his departure from Barcelona in June 2024.

Nevertheless, he is not the only name being considered to succeed Ruben Amorim as the head coach of Manchester United . The English press is already suggesting possible successors for the position, with the name of Gareth Southgate , former England manager, appearing in several publications, along with Olivier Glasner (Crystal Palace), Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton), and Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth) as options.

The person who does not seem worried about his potential dismissal is the Red Devils' coach himself, as he revealed in his statements to the press after the Brentford defeat : “ I am never worried about my job, I am not that kind of person . That decision is not mine. I will do my best every minute I am here.”

Ruben Amorim's Manchester United has three losses and one draw in the league, with only two wins at the start of the Premier League. The English league is led by Liverpool with 15 points, who also lost this round against Crystal Palace.
