Next Man Utd manager odds: Ex-Barcelona, Tottenham and Chelsea men among favourites to replace Ruben Amorim

Ruben Amorim will stay in his Manchester United post for now as he looks to get the Red Devils back to winning ways this weekend as they take on Sunderland in the Premier League.

United’s two wins this campaign have come at home, with Amorim struggling on the road. He saw his side knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League Two Grimsby Town and has come under increased pressure after a 3-1 loss t Brentford last weekend.

Addressing the manager’s future, Manchester World’s chief United reporter Rich Fay said: “Manchester United have no plans to replace Ruben Amorim despite their 3-1 defeat to Brentford at the weekend.

“United have taken just 34 points from 33 Premier League matches under Amorim and there is more pressure on the head coach given United do not appear to have improved at all from their worst-ever Premier League campaign in Amorim’s debut season.

“Amorim, just about, retains the backing of the United board. It is less than a year since he replaced Erik ten Hag in November 2024 and I think that is a key factor here in why he is still in the United job. He is under increased pressure and there are serious questions over his position.

“But he is the guy Ineso hired, it was an easier decision to sack Ten Hag. He was from the previous regime. Amorim is their guy and the person they backed with over £200m in the transfer window. They are not under any illusion and he is under serious pressure to turn things around.”

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has been linked with the role while ex-Barcelona plyer and manager Xavi is said to be ready to jump at the chance to manage at Old Trafford. Below are the latest odds for who could replace Amorim if United decide to sack him.
