Manchester United’s struggles under Ruben Amorim have prompted the club to consider alternative managerial options, with Brentford’s Thomas Frank emerging as a top target.
Amorim’s tenure at Old Trafford has been marred by criticism of his tactics, particularly the 3-4-3 formation that has left several players struggling to adapt.

The Red Devils’ 1-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday only added to the scrutiny, with ex-Manchester United captain Gary Neville labeling the team’s structure as “absolute madness.”
Despite Amorim’s confidence in his ability to turn things around, Manchester United’s hierarchy is reportedly exploring contingency plans.
According to Fichajes, Thomas Frank has been identified as the preferred replacement should Amorim’s struggles persist.
Frank’s impressive tenure at Brentford, where he has overseen 126 wins, 73 draws, and 105 defeats from 304 games, has earned him recognition as one of the Premier League’s most talented managers.
His ability to adapt and innovate tactically makes him an attractive prospect for Manchester United.
Amorim’s Future Hangs in the Balance
Amorim’s record of nine wins, three draws, and nine defeats from 21 games at the helm has raised serious questions about his suitability for the role.
While the Europa League remains a priority for Manchester United this season, a continued decline in the Premier League could force the club’s leadership to reconsider Amorim’s position.
The prospect of replacing Amorim with Frank raises questions about the future of the Portuguese manager’s signings, who may be asked to adapt to yet another formation.
As the pressure mounts on Amorim, Manchester United’s hierarchy must weigh the risks and benefits of making a change mid-season.
