| Ruben Amorim Almost Quit Manchester United? Inside the Toughest Season in Red Devils' History. |
Manchester United is once again making headlines — but unfortunately, not for the right reasons. Instead of celebrating success, fans are dealing with one of the club’s worst seasons ever. And here’s the shocker: Head coach Ruben Amorim reportedly almost walked away from it all.
Yep, you read that right. According to a report from ESPN, Amorim seriously considered resigning back in mid-January. At that point, United had only one win from eight games, and a crushing 3-1 home defeat to Brighton seemed to break his spirit.
Things were so bad that Amorim publicly called his squad "maybe the worst team in Manchester United’s history." It was a brutal but honest take that showed just how deep the problems ran at Old Trafford.
He Nearly Walked Away, But the Club Held Him Back
Although no official resignation ever took place, Amorim was reportedly on the edge. What stopped him? According to the report, close associates and even top executives like CEO Omar Berrada stepped in to convince him to stay and keep fighting.
That faith might just pay off. Despite a dismal Premier League campaign, United somehow clawed their way into the Europa League final, where they’ll take on Tottenham Hotspur. A European trophy seemed like a far-fetched dream just a few months ago, but now it’s within reach.
It’s Not Just About Him — Amorim Questions the Club’s Direction
Amorim’s concerns weren’t only about his own position. The Portuguese coach is also said to have serious doubts about the club’s ability to rebuild its squad in the upcoming transfer window.
Sure, there are already reports of United lining up two new forwards. But Amorim isn’t convinced that new signings alone can fix the deep-rooted issues.
“There are some things we can’t change in the summer,” he recently said. “The feeling inside the club, the way we see ourselves — that needs to change too. It’s deeper than just transfers.”
Now He's Embracing the Challenge — But His Job Still Isn’t Safe
Fast forward a few months, and Amorim seems to have grown into the role. The 40-year-old is reportedly embracing the massive challenge and even “loves” what he’s doing — a big shift from when he was ready to quit.
Still, nothing is guaranteed. If United finish in the bottom five of the Premier League and lose the Europa League final, club leadership may decide it's time for a fresh start, no matter how much Amorim has adapted.
There’s Still Hope, But Time Is Ticking
This season might go down as one of the darkest in Manchester United history. But there’s still a light at the end of the tunnel — and that light is the Europa League final.
Ruben Amorim almost gave up. But he stayed, pushed through the crisis, and now has a shot at European glory. The big question is: will that be enough to save his job and restore United’s pride?
