Fresh speculation on social media has claimed Ruben Amorim will not be in charge of Manchester United next season, but Flashscore understands those reports are wide of the mark.

The rumours gathered pace following a post on X from a well-followed transfer account, which suggested Amorim is no longer viewed as the right man to lead United back to the top, with Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner allegedly being lined up as his successor.

However, sources close to the club have dismissed that narrative.

We understand Amorim remains firmly on track to meet the objectives set out for him at the start of the campaign, with United still firmly in the hunt for a Champions League return.

At this stage, there are no internal discussions regarding Amorim’s future.

Insiders insist his position is not under review and that the club’s hierarchy is satisfied with the direction of travel.

Amorim was tasked with keeping United competitive in the European qualification race and re-establishing them among the Premier League’s elite.

On that front, progress is evident. United sit just two points behind fourth-placed Chelsea and planning is already underway to strengthen the squad further.

The club is prepared to invest across the next two transfer windows, with a top-level centre-back and two midfield reinforcements identified as priorities in 2026, along with a new wide attacker. Additional depth is expected, particularly with European football anticipated next season.

While there is recognition that performances are not yet flawless, there is a growing belief inside Old Trafford that Amorim’s side is becoming more cohesive and increasingly entertaining - a key marker in United’s long-term rebuild.

Only a significant collapse in form or a clear failure to remain in contention for European qualification would place Amorim under pressure later in the season. Until then, any suggestion that his job is in jeopardy is premature.

For now, Amorim remains safe - and is fully expected to see out the campaign.
