Storm of news about Amorim's dismissal broke out before the MU - Sunderland match

A few hours before MU welcomed Sunderland at Old Trafford on the evening of October 4, British media simultaneously reported that Ruben Amorim was facing the risk of being fired.

Coach Amorim could be fired at any time.

According to The Telegraph , the MU board began to lose patience with the Portuguese coach after the 1-3 defeat to Brentford in the previous round. The defeat caused the Old Trafford team to fall to 14th place in the Premier League table, with only 7 points after 6 matches and conceding 11 goals.

Despite Sir Jim Ratcliffe's public backing, the atmosphere at Carrington has become more tense than ever, with insiders saying many members of the board "are losing faith" in the 40-year-old's ability to turn things around.

In the pre-match press conference, Amorim admitted that the pressure was enormous and did not shy away from the possibility of being fired if results did not improve soon.

"We understand that for the project to continue, results are needed. There will come a time when no one can be patient anymore, because this is a big club, with two owners and many sponsors," Amorim said frankly. "That's football, just one win is enough to give us hope. But if we don't win, everything will go back to square one. I'm not afraid of losing my job, what hurts me is the losses."

Amorim faces the risk of being sacked if MU loses to Sunderland.

The match against Sunderland is not only of professional significance, but also a "life and death" match for Amorim. Coach Regis Le Bris's new team is in impressive form with 3 wins and only 1 loss after 6 rounds. If they continue to surprise at Old Trafford, they can completely climb to second place in the table.

Conversely, if United win, they will temporarily return to the top half of the table with a result that could help Amorim extend his time in charge. But with the owners' patience gradually running out, any misstep could spell the end of his tenure at Old Trafford.

In that context, sources from England have begun to list names on the list of potential replacements including Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace) and Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth).

The match against Sunderland could therefore be a battle to retain Amorim's position as Manchester United's head coach. Another defeat and Amorim will become the next victim in the never-ending series of upheavals at Old Trafford.
