Ruben Amorim’s first season in charge of Manchester United has ended without silverware, and the pressure is already beginning to mount ahead of a crucial summer.
The Europa League final loss to Tottenham confirmed that United will not be playing in Europe at all next season, and frustration is boiling over both in the boardroom and the dressing room.
While Ruben Amorim retains support from senior figures within the club, fans and pundits have started to question whether he’s the right fit for the long-term project at Old Trafford.

Public statements of support from high-profile players after the final helped defuse immediate speculation, but behind the scenes, all is not as united as it seems.
And now, the cracks are beginning to show.
Manchester United bosses are standing firmly behind Ruben Amorim despite a turbulent start that has seen the club lose 16 of his 41 matches in charge.
The Portuguese coach is under no immediate threat of being dismissed, with figures like Bruno Fernandes, Diogo Dalot, and Luke Shaw speaking out in strong support after the Bilbao disappointment.
Fernandes, in particular, was emphatic, saying: “I do think that the manager is the right one and I don’t think that there will be a better person to do the job.”
Dalot and Shaw echoed those views, insisting Amorim remains the right man for Manchester United’s rebuild.

However, a growing number of players in the squad reportedly disagree.
According to the Daily Mail, several individuals are frustrated by Amorim’s rigid commitment to a 3-4-3 formation, which they feel doesn’t suit the squad’s strengths.
The system, which was successful at Sporting, has struggled to yield consistent results in the Premier League since Amorim’s arrival in November.
An insider revealed: “He’s not going to change the way he plays and the players aren’t happy about that, it’s just not working.”
Despite vocal backing from some senior names, the divide inside the dressing room could pose a major challenge heading into the new campaign.
United may be backing Amorim publicly – but behind the scenes, unrest is growing.
