“Is This the END for Ruben Amorim Already?!” 😱
BREAKING NEWS: The walls of Old Trafford are shaking once again as reports confirm that the Manchester United board has secretly drawn up a replacement shortlist for manager Ruben Amorim following his shaky start to life in England. And in a twist that has sent shockwaves across social media, Sir Alex Ferguson himself has stepped in with a strong recommendation for who he believes should take the hot seat if Amorim fails to turn things around.
United fans were promised a “new era” when Amorim replaced Erik ten Hag, but just weeks into the new season, frustration is already boiling over. A scrappy 1-1 draw with Fulham and a humiliating EFL Cup exit to League Two’s Grimsby Town have left supporters questioning whether the Portuguese tactician has what it takes to handle the pressure cooker that is Manchester United.
Sources close to the club revealed that the board is unwilling to wait too long before making a decisive move, fearing another disastrous season could push the Red Devils further behind rivals Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool. According to insiders, at least three big-name managers are on United’s radar—but it’s Sir Alex Ferguson’s intervention that has divided the fanbase.
The legendary Scot, who still holds huge influence at Old Trafford, has allegedly identified his personal favourite candidate—a figure he believes embodies the “United DNA” and can restore the lost glory of the club. While names remain under wraps, online speculation has gone into overdrive, with fans linking everyone from Zinedine Zidane and Thomas Tuchel to Gareth Southgate and even Jose Mourinho for a sensational return.
The reaction online has been explosive:
Some fans are furious that Ferguson is still influencing major decisions, arguing that the club must move forward and stop living in the past.
Others believe his opinion is the only one that matters, pointing out that since his retirement, every managerial appointment has failed without his blessing.
Rival fans have mocked United, saying they are “clinging to their grandfather’s ghost for direction.”
One furious supporter wrote: “The board has no backbone. If Amorim is failing, sack him, but don’t let Fergie pick another mate. We’re not living in 1999 anymore.” Another countered: “Sir Alex built this empire. If he says a man can fix it, we better listen!”
For now, Amorim is still in charge and expected to lead United into their upcoming Premier League fixture. But with the shadow of Ferguson looming over him and a shortlist already on the table, many believe he is just one more bad result away from the sack.
United are once again at a crossroads. Will they back a struggling coach and give him time—or will Ferguson’s influence push the club toward yet another new era before this one has even begun?
