One year ago today, Rúben Amorim took charge of his first Premier League match as Manchester United manager, stepping into one of football’s most demanding jobs with expectations sky-high. Since then, the Portuguese coach has endured a turbulent but transformative spell as he works to rebuild a fractured squad and reshape United’s identity.

Across his first full year in charge, Amorim has overseen 38 league matches, recording 12 wins, 17 losses and 9 draws. The mixed results reflect both the challenges he inherited and the growing pains of a squad undergoing major transition. Despite inconsistencies, United have shown flashes of promise under his guidance, including tactical shifts, emerging young talents and patches of improved form.

As Amorim enters his second year at Old Trafford, the pressure remains—but so does the belief that his long-term project could yet return Manchester United to the Premier League elite.
