Romano reveals Amorin s decision to fire is "crazy", and the team s view of the coach is "divided"

Ruben Amorin is under pressure at Manchester United.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano refused to rule out the possibility that Manchester United would fire Ruben Amorin after the UEFA Cup final.

Amorin has been living a tough day since replacing Eric Tenhager in late 2024 as he has a hard time implementing his favorite 3-4-3 formation at Manchester United.

United performed worse under Amorin than during his time in coaching at Ten Hager, but they could still be ranked 17th in the Premier League this season.

The Red Devils have lost 18 games in the Premier League this season, and have also suffered losses in the FA Cup, Carabao Cup and Europa League.

United played the most important game of the 2024/25 season on Wednesday night, but they were not present as they were beaten by Tottenham at a 0-1 score.

This result has left Manchester United's transfer budget limited before a season without European games, and Amorin remains one of the next hotlines for the sacked Premier League head coach.

United were quite confusing under Amorin, but it would still be unfair to fire him before he had the chance to build a team that would be more suitable for his system.

In recent weeks, reports have been reported that the coach will continue to receive support from Manchester United even if he lost to Tottenham in the Europa League final, and it is likely that this is the case, but Romano has not completely closed the goal of leaving the team.

"The message we get from Manchester United is that they will support the head coach. They support the head coach," Romano emphasized.

They believed that Ruben Amorin was the right person for this position. So Manchester United intends to continue hiring Ruben Amorin.

"So unless something completely crazy happens, which sometimes happens in football, after a huge disappointment, but the club's clear idea is to continue working with and supporting Ruben Amorin."

However, the Daily Mail reported that there is a "diverge" on Manchester United's choices, mainly due to one problem.

Although the alleged joint owner Sir Jim Ratcliff and the rest of Manchester United's board of directors "supported" Amorin, their support for the head coach clashed in the locker room.

It is reported that Bruno Fernandez, Luke Shaw and Diogo Dalot publicly supported Amorin after losing to Tottenham, but other players did not think so.

"Many other players think the 40-year-old is too confident in his tactics and can't understand why he trusts so much a game system that doesn't fit in with the team he took over in November."
