I’m one of the biggest Amorim Outer last season. I had my reasons and so do many of us. We all have one thing in common and that is to win trophies in this club. We can brag to our rivals with our achievements and also, dominate games. We brought in Amorim, he made mistakes and so did me, the fans, the club, the board and the owners.
Results were so bad and he was rigid and was against changing his style of play which is among the reasons why we sacked him.
We sacked him, I was relived that day, one week and one month later.
As days went on, I realized we have lost a good coach, a tactical man and a man with a project.
I was against him this whole time so it would be a shame to publicly give him his flowers. I have eaten my words and I’m here to say that I miss him and that next season will genuinely ruin my mental health if we go back to losing games after choosing Carrick to lead us with no clear tactics or style of play. Next season, we have absolutely no business losing.
Here is the uncomfortable truth most Manchester United fans are too terrified to admit:
Rúben Amorim didn’t fail, the board doubted his vision after poor results. The media was on his neck because he ain’t English.
He threatened the people who were comfortable with failure.
People are still judging his tenure as if he inherited a healthy, functional football club that just needed a tactical tune-up but have forgotten that this clubs problem is from the roots. The cabals (Glazers). Just like Ralf Rangnick said, an open heart surgery. They need to 100% sell this club before we will prosper.
He didn’t. He inherited pure, unadulterated rot.
You don’t build a skyscraper on top of a crumbling foundation. You rip the whole damn thing out first.
That is exactly what Amorim was doing.
The squad overhaul? It wasn't about headlines. It was a cultural reset.
The early inconsistency? It wasn't proof the system was broken. It was the tax you pay for rebuilding from ground zero.
Week by week, the machine became more stable. Not perfect. Stable.
Then came the real problem: Amorim’s standards stopped being limited to the dressing room. He started demanding elite accountability from the board, too. You cannot build a world-class team while the executives above you are still making mediocre, commercial-first decisions.
The board wanted a puppet coach.
Amorim wanted to rebuild a football institution.
Those are two entirely different sports.
Then the noise started:
Fans cried because academy players weren't being forced into the lineup.
Media cried because fan-favorites like Marcus Rashford were no longer untouchable.
Players leaked stories because the days of player power and country-club comfort were over.
Suddenly, it was total warfare. The board wanted control. The squad wanted comfort. Sections of the fanbase wanted a popularity contest.
Amorim just wanted standards.
Guess who loses that battle at modern-day Manchester United?
But let’s stop erasing history. The football was drastically improving. He took over a team sitting in 14th. By the time they sacked him, we were 5th.
We weren’t just lucking into points. We finally had an identity. Even in defeat, there was structure, fight, and a visible blueprint. The squad was still desperately short on quality, but for the first time in a decade, the direction actually made sense.
Then January arrived. He asked for reinforcements to finish the job. The board said no. Then they sacked him.
They didn't fire him because the project failed. They fired him because they realized they didn't have the stomach for what the project required.
Mark my words: Amorim is going to make AC Milan a European powerhouse again. And when he does, the same people who mocked him here will pretend they always knew he was a genius.
Manchester United didn’t just lose a world-class manager. We lost our latest and maybe last chance to become a serious football club unless we sign Luis Enrique
