Ruben Amorim: Fans give mixed views on Man Utd boss who is 'ruining reputation'

Ruben Amorim’s stint at Manchester United has sparked a whirlwind of debate among fans with the Reds languishing in 15th place after 18 Premier League games.

Four months into his reign, opinions range from scathing critiques to calls for patience—here’s the pulse of the fanbase.

The frustration is palpable. One fan vented after a recent match, slamming a substitution as “risk-averse yet defensively shaky,” suggesting Amorim’s tactics are faltering.

While another @ptgorst was blunter, warning that Amorim’s move to Old Trafford has “tarnished his reputation as a top young coach,” predicting a mid-table finish after just 15 games.

With 10 losses in 24 matches, including six at home, the doubters are growing louder. Yet, not all hope is lost.

Another supporter @UTDPatron offered praise amid the gloom: “Fair play to Amorim tonight — stuck with 3-4-3 first half & it didn’t work. 2nd half switch to 4-3-3 after bringing Zirkzee on changed the game completely & should’ve won it with chances created. Owners & players remain the issue — he’s trying to polish a turd.”

Then @UnitedStandMUFC bolstered this, citing journalist Chris Wheeler: “Amorim remains the right appointment for #mufc despite the current rut of losing 4 consecutive games… Decision makers still believe in him and see this as teething problems with his new system.”

The optimists are standing firm with @unitedviewtv urging, “We need to stick with Amorim and his principles. We hired him based off his philosophy and tactics — going back to having no identity doesn’t change anything.”

And @Soulmender37 echoed, “I see a methodical approach… Sporting’s success wasn’t overnight either. Patience & better signings could turn this around.”

While @UnitedRo4d added, “I have full faith in Amorim’s project — his commitment, tactical clarity & way he speaks about the club gives me confidence.” A lot will depend from here on how well the final three months of the season go for the manager.
