“Let me be clear—if Amorim doesn’t win the Europa League, he’s getting sacked. I still believe in him, but this club needs results, not excuses. That’s why we already have a backup plan. We’ve spoken to a coach who has won the Champions League before, and we’ve reached a partial agreement with him to take over if needed. This isn’t personal—it’s about doing what’s best for the club. Winning the Europa League is a must, not a maybe.” Manchester United set to appoint champions league winning coach if Amorim fails European glory

The pressure is officially on Ruben Amorim at Manchester United. In a brutally honest press conference earlier today, a high-ranking club official made it clear that failure to lift the UEFA Europa League this season would signal the end of Amorim’s tenure at Old Trafford.

“Let me be clear — if Amorim doesn’t win the Europa League, he’s getting sacked,” the official declared. “I still believe in him, but this club needs results, not excuses. That’s why we already have a backup plan. We’ve spoken to a coach who has won the Champions League before, and we’ve reached a partial agreement with him to take over if needed. This isn’t personal — it’s about doing what’s best for the club. Winning the Europa League is a must, not a maybe.”

The bold statement has sent shockwaves through the United fanbase and European football, especially with the revelation that the club has already engaged with a Champions League-winning manager as a potential replacement.

Speculation is already mounting over who this mystery coach could be, with names like Zinedine Zidane, Jose Mourinho, and even Hansi Flick circulating in fan debates and media reports.

Amorim, who arrived at Manchester United with big expectations following his success at Sporting Lisbon, has struggled to turn the club’s fortunes around this season. While there have been flashes of promise, inconsistent league form and mounting pressure from the board have left his future hanging by a thread.

With the Europa League now the club’s only realistic chance of silverware this campaign, the message from the boardroom is clear: bring the trophy home or step aside.

Manchester United are set to face a tough semi-final clash in the coming weeks, with Amorim’s career at Old Trafford likely hinging on those crucial fixtures.

Who the club’s backup manager is remains under wraps, but one thing is certain — Manchester United are already planning for a future without Amorim should European glory slip through their fingers.
