The Mirror reported that Ruben Amorim has 3 matches to turn around the miserable situation with MU , including the match against Chelsea (11:30 p.m. on September 20), the away match against Brentford (6:30 p.m. on September 27) and the match against newly promoted team Sunderland (9:00 p.m. on October 4) at Old Trafford, before entering the FIFA Days in October.

According to the above source, by then Ruben Amorim 's fate could be decided, as MU leaders have selected 5 candidates to replace him.

Coach Oliver Glasner (Crystal Palace) has emerged as a potential replacement, alongside names like Marco Silva (Fulham), Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth), former England captain Southgate and Mauricio Pochettino, who is in charge of the US team.

MU just suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat against Man City in round 4 of the Premier League , putting Ruben Amorim under more pressure in the 'hot seat'. More significantly, the Portuguese captain still insists that he will not change his football philosophy at Old Trafford and if MU's leadership wants a change, then just fire him!

According to the British press, MU's big bosses are still supporting Ruben Amorim for now, and are trying to find reasons not to fire this coach yet. For example, the club's leadership meeting mentioned that although the team lost the derby, their playing style has still improved, or MU is among the top teams with the most shots in the Premier League since the beginning of the season,...

However, if the situation of MU does not improve in the next rounds, Sir Jim Ratclille and his team will not be able to sit still. Currently, Ruben Amorim has a very poor winning rate with MU, only 36.17% compared to 71% when he was leading Sporting, the worst among the coaches who have had a chance at Old Trafford. The team is currently ranked 14th after 4 rounds, despite spending 200 million pounds in the transfer market this summer.

The problem that the big MU bosses are worried about is that they will have to spend 12 million pounds if they fire Ruben Amorim to appoint a new one. This will be the second highest compensation for the Red Devils, after the compensation for firing Mourinho.

MU spent a total of more than 54 million pounds in compensation for 5 managers and their assistants, in the post-Sir Alex era - but the Premier League title has not returned, namely David Moyes (5.2 million pounds), Luis van Gaal (8.4 million pounds), Mourinho (19.6 million pounds), Solskjaer (10.5 million pounds), Erik ten Hag (10.4 million pounds).
