Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has declared his ambition to remain at the club for the long haul, stating his goal is to lead the Red Devils for the next 20 years. In a bold statement of intent, Amorim expressed his belief in the potential of the club and his confidence that success both domestic and European will return to Old Trafford.
Amorim took over midway through a difficult campaign and is now preparing for his first full season in charge. Despite United’s dismal 15th-place finish last season their lowest in over 50 years he is optimistic about the future. The Portuguese coach, under contract until 2027 with an option for an additional year, is aiming to bring stability and long-term progress, reminiscent of the Sir Alex Ferguson era.
He emphasized the importance of club identity, heritage, and financial resources as key pillars that can propel United back to the top. Amorim highlighted the club’s history, global fanbase, and strong financial backing even without Champions League football as reasons to believe in a brighter future. He stressed that with the right culture and strategic planning, the club can reclaim its place among football’s elite.
To support this vision, Amorim has introduced several changes to reshape the club’s internal culture. A leadership group featuring Bruno Fernandes, Lisandro Martínez, Harry Maguire, Diogo Dalot, Noussair Mazraoui, and Tom Heaton has been formed to manage squad dynamics and address dressing room concerns. This move is aimed at empowering players to take greater responsibility and fostering unity across the team.
The manager has also instituted stricter rules concerning punctuality and training intensity. He clarified that these changes are not about micromanagement but about professionalism and accountability. By using video analysis to highlight lapses in training, Amorim holds his players directly accountable and encourages transparency and improvement.
As the new season approaches, Amorim understands that results will ultimately determine his future. However, with a renewed structure, stronger support, and a long-term vision, he is determined to defy the odds and bring lasting success back to Manchester United.
