Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim mentioned the possibility of resigning, and it became a mess. Manchester United lost 0-2 to West Ham in the 36th round of the English Premier League (EPL) of the 2024-2025 season at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 11th (Korea time).
Manchester United, which recorded its 17th loss in the EPL, fell to 16th place (39 points). It is the first time in 51 years that Manchester United lost its 17th game since the 1973-1974 season when it was in the Football League.
The only teams below Manchester United are Tottenham (38 points), 17th place, Ipswich Town, 18th-20th place, Leicester City (22 points or more), and Southampton (12 points).
Coincidentally, Manchester United and Tottenham will clash in the Europa League final this season. The word `El Clownico' also appeared in the match between the two teams. It is a combination of the words 'Clown' and 'El Clasico' which means clown. It's an expression of being as ridiculous as a clown.
Amorim took the helm of Manchester United in November last year, replacing Erik ten Hag. However, there is no reversal other than the Europa League. He said, `The biggest concern is that even after losing, the atmosphere of 'It's okay' is prevalent in our team. Manchester United is a club that should feel like the world is over if they lose at home, but there is no such sense of crisis now."
And there is a lack of urgency in our team right now. This is the most dangerous feeling in a big club. It's not the players' fault. It's my fault and it's my responsibility. If there is no change, I may have to hand over my seat to someone else", hinting at his resignation.

England's 'The Sun' reported on the 12th that Mourinho is likely to make a surprise appearance as Manchester United manager as Amorim's successor. Mourinho led Manchester United from May 2016 to December 2018. In the 2016-2017 season, he presented the League Cup, Europa League, and two gold medals.
Coincidentally, Mourinho is a mentor to Amorim, who is from Portugal. Amorim took an internship at Carrington Training Center to receive Mourinho's leadership training during his time at Manchester United. Mourinho also worked as a professor when he was taking coaching classes at the Lisbon Graduate School in Portugal.
Following Mourinho, Kieran McKenna, Ipswich Town manager, Gareth Southgate, former England manager, and Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers are also being discussed, but the possibility is not high.
