Amorim Departs Manchester United

Published January 5, 2026, 10:31

Ruben Amorim has left his position as manager of Manchester United after a year and two months in charge. The decision appears to have been brewing for some time, as the team has had a poor start to the season, currently sitting in 6th place in the Premier League with 8 wins, 7 draws, and 5 losses in 20 games. The recent 1-1 draw against Leeds seems to have been the final straw, given that Amorim won only 24 of his 63 games, achieving a win rate of 38.7%. Darren Fletcher will take over as interim manager until a new coach is appointed. Amorim's departure marks a new period of uncertainty for Manchester United, which must find a manager capable of turning the situation around and leading the team to success.
