Manchester United has parted ways with Ruben Amorim as their head coach after just 14 months in charge. The decision comes after a tough stint for Amorim, with the team currently sixth with 31 points from 20 games in the Premier League. They are currently trailing log leaders Arsenal by 17 points, making a top-four finish seem like a real challenge.
The final straw seems to be his comments after the 1-1 draw with Leeds, where he expressed frustration about not having enough power in his role, stating he wanted to be the manager, not just the coach.

Amorim’s undoing has been a spate of poor results with a win ratio of 32% which is the worst in Manchester United’s Premier League era.
He also has had tactical disagreements and friction with the director of football, Jason Wilcox over formations and team selections. Further to that the team has struggled to find consistency, finishing 15th in the league last season and losing the Europa League final1-0 against Tottenham in May, and subsequently missed out on a place in Europe for the first time since 2014-15.
