The era of Ruben Amorim as manager of Manchester United seems to be coming to an end.

The Portuguese coach has been more questioned than ever after the elimination in the Carabao Cup against the modest Grimsby Town, from the English fourth division. A historic defeat that, added to poor results in the Premier League, brings his dismissal closer in a matter of days.

A historic failure in the Carabao Cup

United was eliminated in the second round of the tournament after a dramatic 12-11 on penalties. It was the first time the Red Devils lost to a fourth-tier opponent in a cup competition, a huge blow to the institution and further evidence against Amorim's continuity.

Criticism quickly came from the British press, labeling the defeat as "one of the worst humiliations in the recent history of the club."

Statistics that condemn Ruben Amorim

Since arriving at Old Trafford in November 2024 to replace Erik Ten Hag, Amorim's record has been very negative: 44 games managed with 17 wins, 9 draws, and 18 losses.

In the Premier League, he has only gathered 28 points in 29 matches, finishing fifteenth last season and starting the current one with just one point from four possible. Additionally, he lost the Europa League final against Tottenham, adding another international failure to his resume.

The Manchester United board invested over 200 million euros in the summer transfer market, signing Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko, and Matheus Cunha. However, the collective performance has not lived up to the investment.

"The club cannot afford more stumbles with the expenditure made," said a Sky Sports analyst, reflecting internal discontent with Amorim's management.

The immediate future of United

The departure of the Portuguese coach is considered almost certain, although the board first seeks a secure replacement before making the decision. All signs point to the match against Burnley being the definitive test: if the team fails to achieve a victory, Amorim could be dismissed before the September international break.

Possible replacement names are already circulating in the corridors of Old Trafford, including Julen Lopetegui and Zinedine Zidane, although no official contacts have been confirmed.

An era coming to an end

Ruben Amorim's time in England will be remembered more for failures than successes. His inability to establish a competitive project, despite having top resources, has hastened his exit. Meanwhile, Manchester United faces the dilemma of finding a leader to restore stability and prestige to one of the world's greatest clubs.
