Manchester United sacked Erik ten Hag in October 2024 following a poor start to the season. The Dutchman was in his third season and was replaced by Ruben Amorim.
The Portuguese tactician began implementing changes at the club, introducing new ideas aimed at transforming the culture.
The club recently unveiled their refurbished Carrington Training Complex, but will be under pressure to deliver results following a disappointing 2025/26 season.
How has Ruben Amorim performed at Man United?
Amorim was appointed in November to replace Erik ten Hag, but his tenure saw a dreadful run that sparked relegation talk.
Amorim's first few months were a nightmare, with a poor run in the Premier League, though surprisingly, his team performed well in the Europa League.
The young coach has overseen 42 matches, winning 17, losing 17, and drawing 8.
Tottenham Hotspur defeated them in the Europa League final in Bilbao on May 21, marking their most agonising defeat.
Amorim has faced criticism for his stubbornness and tactical rigidity. His 3-4-2-1 system has struggled in the Premier League, but could it find success next season?
What rule has Ruben Amorim changed?
Man United fans are impressed with Amorim, who they say is improving the culture at the club. Still, he received criticism towards the end of the season,
According to ManUtd.com, in recent seasons, players typically arrived at Old Trafford four hours before kick-off, mainly to enjoy a pre-match meal at the stadium.
With the opening of the new training facility, the players will now arrive at the training ground, eat together and then travel as a group.
“I always had the feeling that we arrive at Old Trafford and Old Trafford must be the centre of the game, but we cannot spend four hours there waiting for the game," Amorim said.
So players will arrive at Old Trafford just under two hours before kick-off.
Can Man United win the Premier League?
In a related story, we reported that Wayne Rooney predicted where Man United will finish in the Premier League.
The legendary forward said he seen the Red Devils finishing fifth and feels they need more reinforcements.
Rooney won five Premier League titles with Man United and thinks Liverpool will win it again this season.
