Ruben Amorim was meant to be the savior of Manchester United, but instead his time at Old Trafford has been rocky.
Amorim, who transferred from Sporting CP in November 2024, has now completed a full year leading United, and calls for a change have been loud.
Following Manchester United's exit from European competitions and a humiliating loss to Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup's third round for the 2025/26 season, Amorim found himself on the brink of dismissal only a few weeks into the new season.
The situation improved — United secured three straight victories against Sunderland, Liverpool and Brighton & Hove Albion, followed by a 2-2 away draw against both Nottingham Forest and Tottenham after conceding early advantages — yet their disappointing home defeat to a 10-man Everton extinguished any developing momentum.
AllSportsPeople outlines the team's difficulties in achieving victories, alongside the unfavorable statistics and realities of his time in charge.

Ruben Amorim's complete coaching statistics
Prior to joining United, Amorim boasted an almost perfect coaching history, having managed solely within Portugal.
He started his coaching career at Casa Pia, a third-tier team for which precise records of his performance are unavailable. Subsequently, he moved to Braga's youth and reserve teams, developing his managerial skills and ultimately leading the senior team for 13 matches during the 2019-20 campaign.
Amorim rapidly gained recognition, guiding Braga to victory in the domestic league cup. He subsequently assumed control at Sporting CP later that same year, stepping in to succeed the dismissed Jorge Silas. Over the course of two complete seasons at Sporting, with additional time at the beginning and end, Amorim established a reputation for his 3-4-2-1 formation.
He was hired at Manchester United in November of 2024 to replace the sacked Erik ten Hag.
