Some fans are not happy with Ruben Amorim’s remarks prior to Manchester United’s match against Grimsby Town in the second round of the Carabao Cup. Due to their terrible 15th-place performance from the previous season, which was their poorest league result since the division’s 1992 rebranding, United enters the competition at the same level as the lowest-ranked Premier League clubs this season.
The early setbacks and the manager’s reserved demeanor have increased worries for a team that made significant summer expenditures in the hopes of a comeback. Now that the 2025–2026 campaign has begun, it is evident that a portion of the fan base is already against him.
Ruben Amorim Calls For Patience As Fans Start To Lose Faith
Fans who attend games still have a lot of faith in Amorim, as evidenced by the noise made in the stands during the Red Devils’ opening two games of the season. His most recent comments, nevertheless, have received a lot of negative feedback online. He made the following statement on his club prior to their League Cup match (see the entire clip below):
“We were not prepared to play Europe. [we were not prepared] to play strong games in the Champions League and then in the Premier League. We need time to develop as a team.”
Even though the former Sporting Lisbon manager has been at Old Trafford for ten months, many fans find it inconsequential that he still needs time to build the team. They have seen Thomas Frank swiftly establish a new identity and style at Tottenham, and they have seen Arne Slot win the Premier League title in his debut season.

In light of this, some United supporters are becoming impatient and anxious for more indications of what the Amorim era would entail. One X user described his remarks as “defeatist mentality,” while another said: “What a shameful guy.” If the players hear their manager speaking like a loser, it’s no wonder that they appear to be not even trying.” Another third said elsewhere:
“Isn’t that his job? To prepare the team for Europe? This might be the greatest scammer in Premier League history. Sir Jim and INEOS need to clock this guy”
A fifth person added, “Just what I wanted to hear from a Man United manager…” while a fourth person went on, “A Manchester United manager should never say this!” Another X user, meantime, came to the grim conclusion, “Sack this man, end his suffering.”
On paper, United’s upcoming Premier League game against recently promoted Burnley should provide Amorim and his team some much-needed respite. However, football is seldom simple, and another mistake here would further raise doubts about his capacity to lead the team back to its heyday. With up to 18 possible successors listed by betting companies, the strain is already apparent.
