Following the shocking Europa League defeat at the hands of Tottenham, Man United’s Bruno Fernandes has responded to questions on the future of the head coach, Ruben Amorim.
In the aftermath of Manchester United’s crushing 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, club captain Bruno Fernandes offered a clear and unwavering message on the future of the head coach, Rúben Amorim, stating that his fellow country man is still the right man to lead this team forward.
In his post-match interview with reporters, Bruno revealed, “I do think Rúben Amorim is the right man for us. I don’t think what happened this season shows exactly what he is as a manager. I do think he’s the right manager for the future of this club.”
Man United’s impending absence in Europe for the 2025/2026 season will no doubt reignite debates about the club’s direction, progress, and readiness to compete at the highest level under Amorim.
Amorim’s first season has been anything but straightforward. The Europa League final was seen as a potential turning point, a chance to validate the rebuilding process with silverware. Instead, it exposed lingering issues with consistency, mentality, and execution in big moments.
Fernandes, who has been one of United’s most vocal and visible leaders, chose not to deflect or point fingers. In backing Amorim so directly, especially on such a difficult night, he demonstrated leadership beyond the pitch. He acknowledged the pain of the defeat but also pointed to the bigger picture, a belief that progress is being made, even if it isn’t fully reflected in the trophy cabinet yet.
According to Fabrizio Romano as well the owners of Manchester United still believe Ruben Amorim is the right man for the job, regardless of how poorly the 2024/2025 club football season went in the Premier League and other tournaments.
