In this transfer rumors blog we are going to talk about Unai Emery’s potential as a candidate for Manchester united’s new manager and what are the possibilities left for Ruben Amorim in Manchester United , I think this will take 2 to 3 weeks or the end of the season if the club wants to replace him or maybe the club can carry on with Ruben Amorim for 6 to 8 months more.
So let’s see first the Ruben Amorim situation at the club :
I personally feel that Ruben Amorim still need good amount of time at Manchester United. Amorim still needs to strengthen his tactical routes, plans and base at the Manchester United. If you look at Erik Tan Hague and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer run as managers at Manchester United they both got good amount of time to get settled as a manager at the Old Trafford.
So, I think this transfer rumor has got a great potential to get turned into a reality but Ruben Amorim still has got some time to bring something out of Manchester United.
Ruben Amorim’s recent Record at Manchester United :
Here is Ruben Amorim’s win-loss-draw record at Manchester United as of March 1, 2025 in a table format:

| FA Cup | Ongoing (Next: Fulham) | – | – | – |

Next Match: FA Cup 5th Round vs. Fulham
Comparison of Ruben Amorim as a Manager with Former Manchester United Managers :
Here is a comparison of the managerial records of Ruben Amorim, Erik ten Hag, and Ole Gunnar Solskjær during their respective tenures at Manchester United:
| Manager | Tenure | Matches Managed | Wins | Draws | Losses | Win Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ruben Amorim | Nov 11, 2024 – Present | 23 | 8 | 4 | 11 | 34.8% |
| Erik ten Hag | May 2022 – Oct 2024 | 128 | 66 | 26 | 36 | 51.8% |
| Ole Gunnar Solskjær | Dec 2018 – Nov 2021 | 168 | 91 | 37 | 40 | 54.2% |
So from this comparison table you can clearly see that Ruben Amorim has got fewer match experiences than other managers. So, I think there is still some time left for Ruben Amorim and let’s see what he can achieve at Old Trafford.
Generally, Manchester United give good amount of time to the managers to get settled in a new job and I think this time also Ruben Amorim has got a season left to prove himself.

Concluding The Article :
The more important thing regarding this Unai Emery and Amorim related managerial shake up at Manchester United is that maybe Manchester United is looking for more home team players who can coach the club in lesser fees and that’s why Amorim is here.
In my opinion I would say I was always considering Unai Emery as a potential manager who can bring ” Super Success ” to the team but Manchester United maybe wants to try more home players first.
So, all in all comparison of Ruben Amorim and Unai Emery is meaningless and at the moment Ruben Amorim needs more amount of time at the club. Definitely, Unai Emery is a bigger and costlier manager and no club wants to lose the managers like these but it depends on the club that what financial situations you have.
All in all :
The Manchester United team has got a tremendous star power :
Some of the Manchester United Players with Market Value are :
Here’s my estimated market value for Manchester United’s star players along with their nationalities:

| Jadon Sancho | Forward | England | 50M |
