Ruben Amorim 'to leave Man Utd in months' as Premier League 25/26 fixtures announced
Ruben Amorim will be under immediate pressure if Man Utd start their 2025/26 Premier League fixtures poorly.
Many Manchester United supporters are convinced that Ruben Amorim won't survive as head coach for much longer after the club's 2025/26 Premier League fixtures were announced on Wednesday. The Red Devils have been handed a nightmare start to next season, facing Arsenal, Manchester City and Chelsea in their first five matches.
Amorim is entering the campaign under immediate pressure following an abysmal start to his reign after he arrived last November. The former Sporting boss has won 17 and lost 17 of his first 42 matches in charge at Old Trafford. In the Premier League, he has tasted defeat in 14 of his 27 games, winning just seven of them.

United slumped to a record-low 15th-place Premier League finish with an embarrassing tally of 42 points and a -10 goal difference.
Poor results against Arsenal, Man City and Chelsea would see the M16 giants drop to a similar position, if not lower, by the start of October.
And plenty of United fans are convinced that such an outcome could ultimately cost Amorim his job, considering how badly the 2024/25 season went.

@DeadlyNaresh asked: "Will Amorim even survive before September end?"
@tomstallone2011 shared: "Minimum nine points needed or Amorim will be under pressure. Need to give him the squad he wants and let them have a full pre-season. Get signing and offloading, United!"
@KeenanFortuin92 posted: "Amorim really needs to signings to come in and be ready for the start of the season or I don't see him last longer. @ManUtd @INEOS #Glazers, we can't have another manager not backed properly."
@Rudeboiifizzy voiced: "Amorim really needs them players in before pre-season so they can fit into the system as soon as possible. If he goes into next season with Rasmus starting as his striker, it's goodbye to Amorim."
@SabirJuma reacted: "With Onana in goal, Amorim will be gone before December unless we do serious business before August."
Amorim will come under increasing pressure if his losing trend at United continues across the first five games.
But the Portuguese tactician will view it as a huge opportunity to set the tone for what must be a vastly improved campaign.
