AFCON 2025
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has refused to compromise on his football philosophy, despite mounting pressure following the club’s bruising 3-0 derby defeat to Manchester City.
The loss only deepened United’s crisis, as the team has managed to secure just four points from their first four matches of the 2025/26 season.

As frustration grows among fans, Amorim insists that his game model is not the problem and has delivered a firm message to the club’s ownership group, INEOS.
In a defiant stance, the Portuguese boss stated, “I will do everything I can for Man United. This is my message to the fans. I’m suffering more than they. I won’t change my philosophy. If INEOS want it changed, then they’ll have to change the manager.”
Amorim made it clear that his stance is unwavering.
“I won’t change. The day I want to change my philosophy, that’s the day I’ll do it — otherwise, you’ll have to change the manager.
“I don’t believe the system is the problem, I’ll keep playing my own way.”
United welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford next weekend, and another defeat could put Amorim in serious trouble, with some reports suggesting the former Sporting boss is already on thin ice.
