On this day one year ago, specifically November 1, 2024, the club announced Manchester United Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim took over the leadership of the team for 3 seasons, meaning the contract expires in 2027, succeeding Dutchman Eric Ten Hag.
What did Amorim do with Manchester United a year after his appointment?
One year has passed since Manchester United signed Ruben Amorim, the former coach of Sporting Lisbon, during which Manchester United fans hoped that he would return them to titles, but what happened during this year was difficult for everyone who belongs to the Red Devils.
During a year, Ruben Amorim played 52 matches with Manchester United in various competitions, during which the team achieved 22 wins, tied on 9 occasions, and lost in 21 matches.
In his first season with the team, Manchester United finished in 15th place in the English Premier League, with 11 victories, 9 draws, and 18 defeats, with 42 points.
Manchester United and Amorim left the FA Cup in the round of 16 at the hands of Fulham, losing on penalties 5-4, and also left the English League Cup in the quarter-finals with a 4-3 defeat at the hands of Tottenham.
Amorim did not give up, and led the team to the Europa League final for the first time since 2019, but he suffered a harsh defeat from Tottenham with a score of 1-0, which dashed the hopes of all the fans.
In the current season, Manchester United appears to be in fairly good shape under the leadership of Ruben Amorim, as the team has played 10 matches under his leadership so far, including 9 in the English Premier League, and achieved 5 victories, including 3 consecutive victories for the first time in a long time, as it beat Sunderland 2-0, Liverpool 2-1, and Brighton 4-2.
But the team left the League Cup early by losing to Grimpsey Town, 14-13, on penalties.
Manchester United now occupies sixth place in the English Premier League standings with 16 points collected from 5 wins, a draw and 3 defeats, and is separated from second-placed Bournemouth by only two points. This means that if it wins today’s match against Nottingham Forest, it will occupy second place, albeit temporarily, with a difference of 3 points from leaders Arsenal, who have 22 points.
