Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is not facing the sack, despite the club’s Europa League final loss to Tottenham on Wednesday night—a defeat that has left United without European football for the 2025/26 season.
The Portuguese manager, who took charge earlier this season amid high expectations, now finds himself under scrutiny following a trophyless campaign. However, sources close to the club have confirmed that the board remains committed to Amorim’s long-term vision and is not considering immediate managerial changes.
Speaking candidly after the 2-0 defeat in Dublin, Amorim said he would “leave the next day without any conversation about compensation” if he felt the board or fans no longer wanted him in charge. His remarks reflect the emotional weight of the moment but are not understood to signal an intention to resign.
Club executives are said to value Amorim’s progressive football philosophy and believe the setbacks of this season—while disappointing—are part of a broader rebuild. They are expected to back him in the summer transfer window, with restructuring plans already underway.
While fans and pundits have expressed frustration at missing out on European competition, many acknowledge that Amorim inherited a fractured squad and limited time to implement his methods.
The pressure will undoubtedly mount next season, but for now, Manchester United’s leadership is standing by their man.
