A key change from Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is now being felt behind the scenes at the Premier League club, according to stunning reports.
Ruben Amorim is on the verge of celebrating his first anniversary at Old Trafford after his sensational appointment as Manchester United manager back in 2024.
The 40-year-old Portuguese coach has experienced the highs and lows during his time at United after he replaced former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag in the dugout.
Amorim, who left Sporting CP to become United head coach, was met with early criticism in the 2025-26 Premier League season over his side’s run of form.
However, United have since seen a major turnaround in results and the Red Devils have won their last three consecutive Premier League matches under Amorim.
What has Ruben Amorim changed at Man Utd and what is being said about it now?
Ruben Amorim’s presence has been felt at the Premier League club and the Manchester United manager has been seen as ‘stubborn’ over his refusal to pivot.

However, Amorim has also had a big impact on United’s training regime at the Premier League club and the signs appear to be showing at Old Trafford.
According to GiveMeSport, the training that the former Braga and Casa Pia manager has implemented has created a “real spark” again at the Red Devils.
The publication added that the United youth academy is feeling the benefit from the change to training, with the youngsters no longer there to “make up the numbers.”
