Manchester United are reportedly already considering a potential replacement for Ruben Amorim, but they aren’t the only Premier League club keeping an eye on the situation.
Since taking over at Old Trafford in November as Erik ten Hag’s successor, Amorim has struggled to make an impact. In his debut season, the Portuguese manager has led United to just five Premier League wins, alongside three draws and a concerning eight losses.
A new report suggests that United may already be bracing for a managerial change, having identified their preferred candidate should Amorim’s tenure come to an early end.
Currently sitting 14th in the Premier League, United are on course for their worst finish since the league’s inception in 1992. This has led to growing frustration among fans, with some calling for Amorim’s dismissal despite his short time in charge.
According to Italian outlet TuttoSport, United are closely monitoring Inter Milan manager Simone Inzaghi, whose contract with the Serie A club is set to expire next year. Inzaghi has enjoyed a stellar season, leading Inter to the top of the Serie A table after securing the league title last year.
However, United are not the only English club interested in the Italian coach. Tottenham Hotspur are also reportedly tracking Inzaghi as a potential replacement for Ange Postecoglou, who has endured a difficult campaign.
Despite the speculation, it appears unlikely that United will part ways with Amorim in the immediate future. Club minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe recently expressed his support for the manager in an interview on The Overlap.
“I think Ruben has done an excellent job,” Ratcliffe told Gary Neville.
“I really like Ruben. Considering the circumstances—arriving mid-season, having no time to implement his playing style, inheriting a squad he didn’t build, dealing with the language barrier, and managing one of the biggest clubs in the world—I think he’s done a remarkably good job.”
