Man United have shown a willingness to back Ruben Amorim this summer after years of managerial upheaval.

That is the view of former Southampton and England star Matt Le Tissier, who told Football Insider exclusively that he expects the Red Devils to “improve quite a lot” under the Portuguese manager.

Amorim joined Man United in November 2024, taking the vacant position after Erik ten Hag was relieved of his duties.

The former Sporting CP boss walked into a mess.

The first order of business was to change tactically, switching to a 3-4-2-1 system whilst implementing a strict style of leadership that saw the likes of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho ousted for their failure to comply.

And whilst results did not improve, and United sank to a 15th-placed finish, Premier League legend Le Tissier does not think that Amorim should be written off just yet.

When asked whether he expects the Portuguese manager to survive until the winter transfer window, the Premier League legend told Football Insider: “Yeah, do you know what, I think he will.



Benjamin Sesko was also signed by Man United this summer.

“If they are not playing in Europe and having a reasonable campaign in the Premier League and are challenging for the European places, then I think they’ll stick with him.

Mbeumo had a very good season last year, talented boy; there’s no reason why they shouldn’t improve quite a lot this season.”

Whilst the incomings will undoubtedly have a positive effect on the Red Devils’ performances, they would not be enough to make up for the loss of their captain this summer.

Despite rejecting a move to the Middle East earlier this summer, clubs from the Saudi Pro League retain an interest in the Portugal international.

However, O’Rourke told Football Insider that Amorim has decided that Fernandes will not be leaving Man United this summer under any circumstances.
