Manchester United Back Ruben Amorim With New Funds Despite Premier League Struggles

Manchester United Back Ruben Amorim With New Funds Despite Premier League Struggles

Manchester United may be stuck in 10th place and licking their wounds after a frustrating 1–0 defeat to 10-man Everton, but the club is not panicking. In fact, they’re preparing to spend even more.

Reports from Samuel Luckhurst indicate that the United hierarchy is gearing up to fuel another major rebuild under Ruben Amorim, doubling down on the Portuguese manager despite rising concerns over performances and consistency.

Midfield Overhaul Leads United’s New Vision

At the center of this rebuild?
The midfield.

United’s board is planning a deep restructuring of the squad, and the midfield department is first on the surgery table.

According to Luckhurst, United admire Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton, two young English talents who fit the profile of Amorim’s long-term project. Brighton’s Carlos Baleba is also still in the mix, with United maintaining interest following previous enquiries.

The club is also monitoring potential upgrades in goalkeeper and wing positions, but those decisions depend partly on the progress of loanees:

  • Radek Vitek, thriving at Bristol City

  • Harry Amass, gaining valuable minutes at Sheffield Wednesday

Meanwhile, key senior players face uncertain futures.
Bruno Fernandes, tied to a £57m release clause for overseas clubs, plans to decide his future only after the upcoming World Cup.
Kobbie Mainoo, who requested a loan move in the summer but was denied, still hasn’t started a Premier League match this season.

And then there’s Manuel Ugarte, who Amorim admitted has been “struggling” in training—another signal that the midfield is headed for a serious reset.

Departures Loom As United Gather Funds For Amorim’s Blueprint

A rebuild of this scale requires money—and United may generate plenty through departures.

Potential exits could clear up to £2.1 million per week from the wage bill.

  • Barcelona hold a £30m option on Marcus Rashford

  • Napoli must pay £38m for Rasmus Højlund

  • Casemiro is expected to leave once his contract expires

  • Jadon Sancho, Joshua Zirkzee, Altay Bayindir, and Tyrell Malacia may also be moved on

And with Harry Maguire entering the final seven months of his deal—and turning 33 next summer—his long-term future at the club remains uncertain.

A Club Still Committed To Its Manager

Despite the turbulence, Manchester United are firmly backing Ruben Amorim. The goal is clear:
finish in the top six, secure European football, and restore confidence in the rebuilding project.

It’s a bold stance—but one that could define the trajectory of the club over the next few seasons.
