Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is facing growing pressure as poor results mount.Amorim has endured a very choppy start to the 2025/26 season. Though the club officially continues to issue supportive messages, internally there is mounting disquiet.Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s visible presence after United’s recent loss at the Etihad is being viewed by observers as a strong signal that the board is more involved, and more worried, than before.What complicates matters further is that Amorim has made it clear that he has no intention of changing his tactical philosophy or system, despite backlash from fans, pundits, and some within the club’s hierarchy.He believes that his squad is essentially good enough, but the problem lies in mentality and performance, especially in terms of consistency.Ruben Amorim is under severe pressure at Man UnitedDuring this time of crisis, replacements are being mentioned in the media to take charge of the Red Devils.Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner has been mentioned as well as Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola.Another name has now entered the picture and according to Football Transfers, it could be former Man United midfielder Darren Fletcher.Fletcher, the club’s former midfielder and now U18 head coach, has made a flawless start to life in his new role, and the contrast in fortunes is hard to ignore.Fletcher, who represented United with distinction during his playing days and later transitioned into coaching and technical roles, took charge of the U18s this summer.More Stories / Latest NewsRuben Amorim faces threat of losing job to Man United icon who is working wondersSep 17 2025, 10:12Exclusive: Arsenal praised for pulling off “absolute steal” in the transfer marketSep 17 2025, 10:06Just In: Jose Mourinho set to return to management with Champions League clubSep 17 2025, 9:48Darren Fletcher is working wonders for U18sRuben Amorim, Manager of Man United (Photo by Matt McNulty/Getty Images)The results have been nothing short of spectacular.
