14 months held Ruben Amorim in the job as Manchester United coach. For the genius Sporting coach, English winter football was a journey without ups. Things brightened at the start of the 2025/26 season with strong individual results, but after being sacked in January 2026, Michael Carrick showed with his twelve wins, three draws and only two defeats, that Ruben Amorim was nowhere near cracking the codes in the Premier League. For the first time, Amorim speaks out about his stay at United.
The Portuguese has kept quiet after his hasty exit from Old Trafford, but back in the ring as AC Milan coach, he answers questions about his time as Manchester United manager.

Here, the Portuguese acknowledges he made several mistakes during his time with the Red Devils.
“It’s hard to explain the mistakes. It’s hard to review every single mistake, but I learned a lot from my time at Manchester United. I made some mistakes. At that time, I didn’t get the opportunity to say anything to the Manchester United fans, and I’m sorry for that… There are many things I could have done better in my previous job, but that’s how it is sometimes. You have to learn from your experience and find the right solutions to reach a higher level,” Amorim says according to The Athletic.
This gives respect.
