It looks like Ruben Amorim has turned things around for Manchester United and that he will stay in as manager for at least the rest of the season.
Before Sunday’s games, Manchester United are in fourth place and thus “qualified” for the Champions League. – There was a lot of talk last summer about bringing German manager Thomas Tuchel to Old Trafford. Dutch manager Erik ten Hag had already put a horrendous season behind him and everyone expected him to be sacked as soon as the 2024/2025 season was over.
