Manchester United are going through a rough patch.
They ended 2024 with four consecutive defeats across all competitions.
Ruben Amorim didn’t shy away from the challenge he inherited.
From the start, he warned fans that rebuilding this United side would take time.
The 39-year-old admitted he would have preferred to begin his tenure in the summer.
United, however, made it clear the opportunity wouldn’t wait.
Amorim accepted the job, fully aware of the difficulties that come with taking over mid-season.
He knew adapting this squad to his demanding 3-4-3 system would not be straightforward.
Now, the reality of that challenge is evident.
United’s performances suggest both the club and Sporting Lisbon may have benefited from a more settled transition during the off-season.
Despite the struggles, Amorim’s potential as a top coach is obvious.
Fans remain hopeful that with time, he can turn things around.

Chelsea legend Mikel John Obi has voiced his support for Amorim during this difficult spell.
He didn’t hold back in his assessment of United’s performances.
“Even if you’re not a United fan, it’s awful to watch them,” Mikel said on the Obi One podcast.
“They’re horrendous. Newcastle could have been 3-0 up in 20 minutes. It was a disaster.”
Mikel made it clear that Amorim isn’t to blame for the situation.
“Ruben Amorim is a fantastic and brilliant young manager,” he added.
In Mikel’s eyes, the squad is the root of the problem.
“The players at United are nowhere near good enough,” he said.
This opinion mirrors the frustrations shared by many United supporters.
The squad is widely viewed as lacking the quality needed to compete at the highest level.
Amorim’s tactical approach requires players with specific attributes and skillsets.
A significant rebuild is essential to mold the squad in his image.
The next few transfer windows will play a crucial role in shaping the future.
Amorim needs backing from the club to overhaul the squad and bring in the right talent.
If United invest wisely and strengthen the right areas, Amorim can lead them forward.
He is the right manager for the job, but he can’t do it alone.
With patience and the right players, Amorim has the potential to bring success back to Old Trafford.
