The Clock is Ticking for Amorim at Old Trafford


Ruben Amorim, Manchester United’s resident philosopher, seems to be playing a game of ‘How Long Can I Last?’ at every press conference. If you’re wondering why the buzz words of the week were “short-lived,” “looking at options,” and “What happens if I don’t make it to Old Trafford on time?” you can blame Amorim. He’s already got his bags packed for a potential early exit before Sunday’s Arsenal clash.

On one hand, Amorim is busy performing a tactical makeover that could make United look as polished as Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal. But let’s face it, his win record resembles an unlucky lottery ticket. With the team currently making itself comfortable at 14th place, fans are starting to wonder if they could become part-time heartbreak therapists. Nonetheless, the board remains optimistic, or at the very least, resigned, to believe in his long-term vision—just like you still believe in Santa.

While Amorim keeps throwing little pity parties, the Manchester United brass still seems convinced he will do a magical Arteta-style switcheroo. Despite his perpetual shoulder-shrugging, Amorim still has every chance to erase the doubt cloud and claim “Lifesaver of Old Trafford”—if he ever stops talking himself out of a job!
