Manchester United sacked Ruben Amorim after a heated meeting with director of football Jason Wilcox, it has been revealed.
The Portuguese coach, who had been under growing pressure, is understood to have “blew up” during talks with Wilcox as the club reviewed results and future plans. That exchange proved to be a key moment in United’s decision-making, with senior figures left unhappy with how the meeting unfolded.
United’s hierarchy had been weighing up Amorim’s position and assessing whether the club was moving in the right direction. The discussion with Wilcox was meant to clarify expectations and the path forward, but the situation escalated and the relationship was left strained.
In the aftermath, United moved to end Amorim’s spell in charge. The decision was taken internally and the club acted quickly once it became clear the working dynamic had broken down.
Amorim’s exit means United now face another period of change on the touchline, as they look to steady the season and reset their plans behind the scenes.
