Manchester United fans could find the Red Devils blow all expectations out of the water in the 2025-26 Premier League season at Old Trafford under Ruben Amorim.
Red Devils supporters endured a tough 2024-25 Premier League campaign after a complete collapse from the start for Manchester United under Erik ten Hag.
Erik ten Hag’s reign at United ended last October with the former Ajax manager’s dismissal and Ruben Amorim was left to pick up the broken pieces at Old Trafford.
Amorim rolled out his tactical system at United and the Red Devils had to adapt to a three-man backline amid their poor run of Premier League form last season.
The 40-year-old United manager, who arrived from Sporting CP last November, was unable to see a major bounce back from the Red Devils under his early reign.
United ultimately suffered their worst Premier League standing since England’s top-flight competition was formed in 1992, with the Red Devils finishing in 15th place.

Southampton legend Matt Le Tissier reveals his prediction for Ruben Amorim’s Man Utd side for the 2025-26 Premier League campaign
Ruben Amorim has been able to oversee his first summer pre-season tour at the Premier League club after Manchester United’s woeful 2024-25 campaign.
The former Sporting CP head coach has been able to work closely with players and talent from both the United first team and the United youth academy this summer.
Amorim has received the major backing of Ineos and Sir Jim Ratcliffe with the arrivals of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Diego Leon and Benjamin Sesko.
Speaking to Football Insider, Matt Le Tissier dropped his two cents on United’s prospects for the 2025-26 Premier League season under Red Devils boss Amorim.
The 56-year-old Premier League cult hero admitted that he could see the Red Devils climb 10 spots from last season and finish in fifth place in the forthcoming campaign.
“Fifth place is probably going to surprise a lot of people because I’ve gone for Man United,” he said.

Premier League cult hero Matt Le Tissier explains the major factor that could benefit Ruben Amorim and Man Utd in the new season
Matt Le Tissier insisted that the absence of European football for United in the 2025-26 campaign could hand Amorim a major boost over the course of the campaign.
“I feel like without the European football, Amorim has got a real chance of working with these players and implementing this system,” he continued.
Le Tissier added: “And I think that could be a massive help to them this season.”
The Red Devils’ woeful Premier League form last season left United outside of the European qualification spots, but the club were later dealt another key blow.
Amorim’s men could have secured Champions League football for the 2025-26 season if United had beaten Tottenham in the Europa League final in Bilbao in May.
Arsenal will arrive at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon on the opening weekend of the Premier League season, with United’s match kicking off at 4:30pm UK time.
