Manchester United’s push for European qualification continues under Ruben Amorim, with the team fighting to salvage pride from a mixed season.
While results have been inconsistent, there’s been no shortage of inspiration from the club’s fanbase, and this week, that energy has come from an unexpected source.
Rory McIlroy, a lifelong Red Devil, delivered one of the most emotional sporting moments of the year with his incredible victory at Augusta National.
The Northern Irishman clinched the elusive Green Jacket in dramatic style, finally completing the career Grand Slam at the Masters.
His success has not only caught the attention of the golfing world, but also earned praise from Amorim, who extended a special invitation to the Old Trafford pitch.
United’s manager appeared in a video message congratulating Rory McIlroy, personally inviting him to parade the famous Green Jacket at the Theatre of Dreams.
“Congratulations for the Masters,” Amorim said.
“We want that feeling in our stadium.
“I hope to see you soon at Old Trafford.”
McIlroy responded with enthusiasm, saying, “If it can inspire some better play, absolutely.”

His words resonate deeply as United look to channel some of that champion mentality in their final stretch of the season.
The 35-year-old previously brought the Claret Jug to Old Trafford back in 2014 after winning The Open, but this return would carry a different emotional weight.
Fans, hungry for silverware, would likely welcome the sight of one of their own showcasing success—especially in a campaign marked by inconsistency and frustration.
Beyond his on-field appearances, McIlroy has spoken openly about investing in Manchester United.
Last year, he admitted he’d love to own even “0.00001%” of the club, hinting at long-term ambitions to play a deeper role at the club he’s supported since childhood.
While the Red Devils fight for a strong finish, the chance to witness McIlroy on the Old Trafford turf again, trophy in hand, could serve as a much-needed morale boost for both fans and players.
It’s a symbolic gesture—but one that might just remind the squad what winning truly feels like.
