Manchester United have parted ways with head coach Rúben Amorim following a disappointing run of results that left the club struggling in both domestic and European competitions.

The decision was confirmed on Monday after an emergency meeting of the club’s board, with United citing the need for “immediate change” as performances continued to fall below expectations.

Amorim, who arrived at Old Trafford with a reputation as one of Europe’s brightest young coaches, failed to stabilise the team despite significant backing and high hopes from fans. A series of inconsistent displays, defensive lapses and dropped points proved costly, ultimately leading to his dismissal.

Sources close to the club indicate that Manchester United will pay a compensation package reportedly worth £12 million to terminate the Portuguese coach’s contract.

The sacking has sparked mixed reactions among football fans in Ghana, with many questioning the club’s long-term direction and frequent managerial changes. Ghanaian supporters of the Red Devils have taken to social media to express frustration over the club’s continued struggles since the post–Sir Alex Ferguson era.

United have announced that an interim manager will take charge while the club begins the search for a permanent replacement ahead of the next phase of the season.

Amorim departs Old Trafford having overseen a turbulent spell that fell short of expectations, as Manchester United once again turn to the drawing board in search of stability and success.
