Ruben Amorim's Man United hailed by fans after 4-0 win over Everton

Ruben Amorim has got Manchester United fans smiling again after a 4-0 win against Everton on Sunday. The Old Trafford crowd serenaded United's players with ole late in Amorim's first Premier League game at Old Trafford. It marks a big change from the boos that rang around the stadium toward the end of former manager Erik ten Hag's reign. In Amorim's third game in charge in all competitions since taking over last month, United produced its best performance under him, with Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee scoring two goals each. It is a nice result. It is important with a new coach and a new way of playing, we are still learning. We have to back up this performance," Rashford said. Amorim is undefeated since taking over last month and United is ninth - four points off the top four. Third-place Chelsea beat Aston Villa 3-0 and Tottenham drew 1-1 with Fulham a week after thrashing Manchester City 4-0. On targetIt hasn't taken long for Amorim to get United's strikers scoring.

Ruben Amorim reveals his mission after joining Manchester United

Ruben Amorim has told Manchester United fans he will do everything to bring the good times back to the 20-time English champion. United's new coach has been charged with ending more than a decade of decline at Old Trafford since former manager Alex Ferguson retired in 2013 and its Premier League dominance fizzled out. Amorim hired from Sporting Lisbon this month is embracing the challenge and said on Friday, I will try to do everything to put this club in the place that it belongs. And I believe a lot that we are going to succeed. The 39-year-old Portuguese is the sixth permanent manager/coach since Ferguson retired after winning his 13th league title. David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik ten Hag all failed to return United to the summit of English and European soccer in a period when Pep Guardiola's Manchester City has dominated domestically. It is unlikely Amorim will change that this year after coming in partway through a season in which .

Garnacho's unusual goal reaction explained by Man United captain Bruno

Alejandro Garnacho's low-key goal celebration against Leicester on Sunday was because he believes some Manchester United fans have lost faith in him, captain Bruno Fernandes said. Garnacho curled a long-range shot into the top corner to seal a 3-0 win for United at Old Trafford, but instead of celebrating with the crowd, he looked frustrated as he made his way back to the halfway line for the restart. Garnacho scored a banger but didn't celebrate like he should because he thinks he has lost faith from some fans," Fernandes told the BBC. "I told him people will always moan, but lots of people like you and enjoy what you do. I told him to celebrate, it was something special. He is a special player, we have difference-makers. They are the ones who win us games." Garnacho came on as a 57th-minute substitute and scored his seventh goal of the season. The 20-year-old Argentina international is considered one of United's brightest young players and scored in last season's FA Cup final wi

Europa League: Manchester United ends winless run in Europe, beats PAOK

Manchester United secured its first win in Europe for more than a year by beating PAOK 2-0 in the Europa League. Two second-half goals from Amad Diallo sealed the victory at Old Trafford on Thursday and boosted United's hopes of progressing in the competition, while Tottenham's 100% start was ended by a 3-2 loss at Galatasaray. United's last win in Europe was against Copenhagen in the Champions League on Oct. 24 last year. We addressed that in the dressing room and it was time to change that, so we did, United interim head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy said. Diallo's looping header beat PAOK goalkeeper Dominik Kotarski in the 50th minute and he followed that up with a deflected shot from outside the area that nestled into the bottom corner in the 77th. It's two wins from three games for United under Van Nistelrooy, who has one more match against Leicester on Sunday before handing over to Ruben Amorim. It is not clear if there will be a role for the Dutchman after his temporary reig

Amorim heading into Man United job on back of huge win over Man City

Call him the new Alex Ferguson. Ruben Amorim endeared himself to fans of Manchester United, the team where he'll soon be coach, by leading current club Sporting Lisbon to a 4-1 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday. Ahead of his final home game in charge of Sporting after more than four years, Amorim quipped that United fans will think that the new Alex Ferguson has arrived if he was able to lead Sporting to victory over City one of the favorites for the European title. While that might be too strong after all, Ferguson is regarded as one of soccer's greatest managers after his trophy-laden spell at Old Trafford from 1986-2013 United supporters might be thinking they finally have a coach who can bring the good times back to a club that has lost its way since Ferguson's departure more than a decade ago. Someone who can take on and beat City's esteemed manager Pep Guardiola, too. He's so much better than me at the moment, Amorim said, but I believe a l

Manchester United hires Ruben Amorim as manager from November 11

Manchester United hired Ruben Amorim on Friday, gambling on a manager unproven in Europe's top leagues to turn around the fortunes of the fading English power. At age 39, Amorim, who has joined from Portuguese champion Sporting Lisbon, will be the youngest person to coach United since the 1960s and the sixth permanent manager since the retirement of Alex Ferguson in 2013. Amorim will take charge on November 11, after completing his commitments to Sporting and has signed a contract until June 2027, with United having an option of an additional year. Ruben is one of the most exciting and highly rated young coaches in European football, United said. United, the record 20-time English champion, hasn't won the Premier League since Ferguson's final season in charge. Amorim's task will be to revive the glories of a club that has fallen way behind the best in England and Europe something that has been beyond the likes of Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and most recently Erik ten Hag, who wa

EFL Cup: Man United responds to Ten Hag firing by routing Leicester City

Manchester United responded to the firing of Erik ten Hag by scoring four goals in the first 38 minutes on the way to a 5-2 thrashing of Leicester in the English League Cup, while Tottenham eliminated Manchester City in the last 16. Also advancing to the competition's first all-Premier League quarterfinals lineup in 14 years were defending champion Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle and Crystal Palace. Two days after Ten Hag's exit, United displayed the cutting edge so often lacking under the Dutchman with Brazil midfielder Casemiro scoring two of the team's first-half goals one a curling strike into the top corner from 30 meters, on Wednesday. Alejandro Garnacho and Bruno Fernandes also netted in that early flurry of goals, while Fernandes added a fifth in the 59th. Ruud van Nistelrooy, United's former star striker, took charge of United having been Ten Hag's assistant, and enjoyed what might be his only game at the helm. United appears close to bringing in Sporting Lisbon coach Ruben

Why Erik ten Hag's exit is the best thing for Manchester United this season

While most pundits and fans believe it was best for Ten Hag to be let go, there could be consequences of this departure for the club, especially with no genuine replacement currently available.

EPL round-up: Liverpool fights back vs Arsenal; Man United loses again

As the weeks go by, Liverpool is showing the quality and resilience to be Manchester City's chief title rival in the Premier League this season. Liverpool twice came from behind to draw 2-2 at Arsenal on Sunday, with Mohamed Salah scoring the second equalizer in the 81st minute at Emirates Stadium. It's just one loss in 13 games in all competitions for Liverpool under new manager Arne Slot this season. A testing past week has seen the Reds beat Chelsea 2-1 in the league, eke out a 1-0 win in Leipzig in the Champions League, and now battle back for a draw at Arsenal the other likely challenger for City's crown. If Liverpool's inner belief is growing, then doubts might be increasing about Arsenal's durability in the title race after finishing runner-up to City for the past two seasons. The biggest concern might be the list of injuries, to which defenders Gabriel and Jurrien Timber were added after they came off in the second half. With defensive linchpin William Saliba missing throu

Mourinho sent off as Fenerbahce holds Man United to Europa League draw

Jose Mourinho received a red card but his Fenerbahce team still held his former club Manchester United to a 1-1 draw in the Europa League on Thursday. Erik ten Hag's squad led early from Christian Eriksen's 15th-minute goal only to see Youssef En-Nesyri equalize in the 49th, heading home unmarked from close range on a cross from Allan Saint-Maximin. It was United's third straight draw in the second-tier competition. Mourinho received a red card after his team was not awarded a spot kick around the hour mark. My boys played an amazing match, Mourinho told TNT Sports. We played against a team that is at a superior level to us. We finished the game with a center-back playing at right-back and a right-back at left-back. We had to do a crazy puzzle but our performance was extraordinary and I couldn't ask for anything more from the players. Mourinho led United to the Europa League title in 2017 during his 2 years at Old Trafford. He took the Fenerbahce job in this past offseason. Elsew

Jose Mourinho says Man United will be favourites in Europa League

Fenerbahce coach Jose Mourinho believes Thursday's opponent Manchester United is one of the two favorites to win the Europa League. If I have to say now which are the two biggest candidates to win the Europa League, I think it's easy, Manchester United and Tottenham, Mourinho told his pre-match news conference on Wednesday. The Portuguese star led United to the Europa League title in 2017 during his two-year stint with the club. Fenerbahce has four points from the opening two games in the competition while United was held to two draws. United may be down in 12th place in the Premier League but Mourinho said it is a better team than results are showing. I don't see any reason for Manchester United to be afraid of Fenerbahce but I think they know it's not an easy game for them, he said. If they come thinking it'll be easy, it is the wrong approach and I don't think that will be the approach. They know the game can be difficult for them. Mourinho was signed by Fenerbahce in June in

Granacho's late strike steer United to victory, Bournemouth stuns Arsenal

Arsenal blew the chance to go top of the English Premier League after a shock 2-0 loss to Bournemouth on Saturday. In one of the biggest upsets of the burgeoning season, 10-man Arsenal lost for the time. Mikel Arteta's team finished runner-up in the last two years and could have leapfrogged leader Liverpool and defending champion City in second place with a win at Bournemouth. But Arsenal's chances were hit after William Saliba was sent off in the first half at Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth took full advantage with Ryan Christie scoring in the 70th minute and Justin Kluivert converting a penalty nine minutes later. Third-placed Arsenal is a point behind Liverpool and level with City, having played a game more than its rivals, who are both in action on Sunday. Meanwhile, Manchester United picked up only its third league win by beating Brentford 2-1. Fourth-placed Aston Villa tightened up the top of the standings by moving to within a point of Liverpool and level with Arsenal after

Manchester United great Sir Alex Ferguson to step down as club ambassador

Manchester United great Alex Ferguson will step down from his role as club ambassador at the end of the season, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the move has not been publicly announced. Ferguson will be 83 in December and the person said the ending of his ambassadorship was amicable and he would always be welcome at Old Trafford. Ferguson won 13 Premier League titles with United and is widely regarded as one of the finest managers in the history of soccer. He is United's most successful manager, having won 28 major trophies. He has been a club ambassador since retiring after leading United to its last league title in 2013. His imminent departure comes at a time when the club is undergoing major change following the partial buyout by British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe in February. United has undergone an extensive restructuring program following Ratcliffe's investment of $1.3 billio

Ten Hag's future hangs in the balance as Manchester United draw at Villa

Manchester United's winless run in all competitions extended to five games after a 0-0 draw at Aston Villa in the Premier League on Sunday, leaving manager Erik ten Hag's position uncertain heading into a two-week international break. Ten Hag arrived at Villa Park under huge pressure with United having lost three of its six league games and the club's minority owner, Jim Ratcliffe, failing to say he had faith in the Dutch coach when asked specifically on Friday. However creditable gaining a point at Villa is, it might still not be enough for Ten Hag especially with United's new leadership having two weeks to weigh up his future before the team's next game. United is in 14th place in the 20-team league. Playing in front of Ratcliffe and the rest of United's hierarchy, the visitors came closest to scoring when Bruno Fernandes struck a free kick against the crossbar in the 68th. We are all on board, together, on one page, Ten Hag said of his relationship with the club's leadership. W
