Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly under immense pressure after a string of disappointing results. The Red Devils' recent League Cup exit at the hands of Grimsby Town, a League Two side, has further intensified scrutiny on the Portuguese coach.
Amorim's position is looking increasingly precarious, and a failure to secure a victory against Burnley this weekend could spell the end of his tenure at Old Trafford. The team's struggles in the Premier League, coupled with a perceived lack of progress despite significant investment in players like Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha, have fueled speculation about his future.
United have had a poor start to the 2025-26 season, losing to Arsenal and drawing against Fulham. Their struggles at Old Trafford, where they have lost eight of their last 13 Premier League home games, are a major concern. Casemiro has spoken highly of new signing Benjamin Sesko, saying: "He is a player who will be very important for us."
The upcoming match against Burnley is crucial for Amorim to turn things around and ease the pressure mounting on him. A defeat could see him join Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Jose Mourinho, former Man Utd managers, in the list of recently dismissed coaches.
Key Issues Facing Amorim
- Poor results since his appointment in November 2024.
- Lack of visible improvement in the team's performance.
- Catastrophic League Cup exit against Grimsby Town.
- Difficulty implementing his preferred 3-4-3 formation.
- Struggling key players.
Will Amorim be able to salvage his job and guide Manchester United to a much-needed victory against Burnley? The football world will be watching.
