ALAN SHEARER suggested Ruben Amorim may be sacked after Manchester United’s “embarrassing”;; Europa League heartbreak.
United saw their Champions League hopes go up in flames after on Wednesday’s final at San Mames following an uninspiring performance.
Man Utd are now set for their worst ever Premier League finish as well as a 2025-26 campaign without European football and that has raised questions regarding ‘s future at Old Trafford.
The Portuguese tactician sensationally claimed he if the Red Devils’ board and fans decide his time is up.

Nevertheless, , 54, wouldn’t be surprised if the ex-Sporting Lisbon boss was let go.
The Premier League’s record goalscorer insists the Manchester giants are “so much worse”;; now under Amorim than what they were before his arrival in November.
were seven points off a Champions League spot when the Portuguese boss took over but now are a remarkableTWENTY SEVENpoints off fifth spot.
Shearer told Betfair: “There will be a lot of questions around Ruben Amorim’s future now and very much like the Spurs situation, it wouldn’t surprise me if he wasn’t the manager at the beginning of the season. Whether that’s his choice or not, I guess.
“I’ve said it so many times, there’s no way he’s gone into that football club and expected what he found.
“There’s no way he thought it was that bad. He couldn’t have, becauseI’m not sure you’d go.
“He hasn’t helped the situation. They’ve actually gotso much worse under him.
“It might have been papering over the cracks if they had won the Europa League, but their problems were summed up in that 97 minutes: no creativity, no legs, no energy, no goals, and a complete mess.”;;
Shearer didn’t hold back when discussing United’s overall performance in the Europa League Final.
The Newcastle legend dubbed Man Utd’s display as an “embarrassment”;; that exposed how all their transfer money was wasted.
Shearer added: “Manchester United were relying on a centre-half, with long balls into the box in the last 15 or 20 minutes of the game, and that sort of sums up who and what they’ve come to.
“It’s a pretty embarrassingsituation when you’re looking to a centre-half to rescue you, as he did in the semi-final and a couple of times by playing in that centre-forward position.
“That’s who and what Man United have come to now. That’s the embarrassing thing; the money they’ve spent, especially on strikers, yet they’re chucking a centre-half up front for the last 15 minutes of the game and launching long balls up to him. That’s how bad Man United are.”;;
