If Amorin gets out of class, how likely is Mourinho to return to Old Trafford? Not small!

The British media Mirror released a message saying that if Amorin leaves Manchester United after the end of this season, Mourinho is expected to return to Old Trafford after 6 and a half years. Manchester United has a poor record in the Premier League this season and currently ranks 15th in the Premier League with 39 points, which is completely a relegation team. However, they performed well in the UEFA Cup and have reached the finals. If they can win the UEFA Cup championship, Amorin will lead Manchester United to the Champions League in an alternative way. However, if Manchester United does not win the UEFA Cup championship, there is a high possibility that Amorin will be dismissed, and Manchester United club chairman Sir Ratcliff is likely to invite Mourinho to serve as Manchester United coach again. How likely is this?

According to the Mirror, Manchester United executives are very dissatisfied with the team's performance this season, especially in the Premier League. After Amorin became Manchester United's head coach in November 2024, he did not lead the team to reverse the decline, but instead gradually refreshed the lower limit of Manchester United's performance in the Premier League! After 36 rounds of the Premier League, Manchester United ranked 16th in the Premier League with 10 wins, 9 draws, 17 losses and 39 points, only 1 position higher than the relegation zone, scoring 42 goals, conceding 53 goals, and losing 6 goals, setting Manchester United's worst league performance since 1974. If the team hadn't performed well in the Europa League, I'm afraid Amorin would have been dismissed if he couldn't stand it.

Regardless of whether Manchester United wins the UEFA Cup or not, Manchester United executives will make a comprehensive assessment of Amorin's coaching performance after the end of this season. Of course, winning the UEFA Cup championship will definitely give Amorin a lot of points. If the assessment believes that Amorin is not enough to lead Manchester United to revive next season, then Ratcliff does not mind changing coaches again. Although changing coaches will add pressure to Manchester United's finances, this season, Manchester United has saved a lot of money through a series of measures such as layoffs and salary cuts, canceling staff restaurants, reducing employee benefits, and not taking employees to watch Manchester United's UEFA Cup finals on site, which is just used to pay for the additional expenses caused by changing coaches.

If Amorin is dismissed, who will become Manchester United's next head coach? The Mirror mentioned a somewhat surprising but sensational name - Mourinho. After Manchester United was dismissed, this person was fired by Tottenham and Roma. Now he coached in the Turkish Super League. Another Portuguese coach who seems to have fallen out of the top coaches has once again entered Manchester United's coach selection list. Sir Ratcliff believes that Mourinho is Manchester United's best coach since Sir Ferguson. In the 2016-2017 season, Mourinho led Manchester United to finish the 6th place in the Premier League with 69 points. Although he ranked 1 place lower than the 2015-2016 season, he scored 3 points more. More importantly, Mourinho led Manchester United, which had an injury-ridden camp, to win the UEFA Cup championship of the season, which is also the most heavyweight championship that Manchester United has won since Sir Ferguson. In addition, Manchester United also won the British League Cup and the Community Shield Cup this season. Mourinho won the team's three-point championship in his first season in coaching Manchester United. In the 2017-2018 season, Mourinho led Manchester United to second place in the Premier League with 81 points, which is the best ranking and highest score that Manchester United has achieved in the Premier League since Sir Ferguson! Mourinho has also repeatedly stated that being able to lead Manchester United to second place in the Premier League was one of his best achievements in his coaching career. At that time, many people were sneered. Now it seems that the value of this sentence is still increasing. In addition, Manchester United reached the FA Cup final this season and qualified as first in the Champions League group stage, but was eliminated by Sevilla 1-2 in the quarterfinals. In the 2018-2019 season, conflicts between Mourinho and Pogba broke out, and Manchester United's management chose to stand on the side of the players. Manchester United was fired by the team after losing to Liverpool 1-3 in the 17th round of the Premier League. Solskjaer became the team's interim head coach and became a regular player later. This season, Manchester United won the 6th place in the Premier League with 66 points. In the 2019-2020 season, Solskjaer led Manchester United to third place in the Premier League with 66 points; in the 2020-2021 season, Solskjaer led Manchester United to second place in the Premier League with 74 points. In the 2021-2022 season, after Manchester United lost 1-4 to Watford in the 12th round, Solskjaer was fired, and Manchester United then invited Runk, and Manchester United ended the season with 58 points and 6th place. In the 2022-2023 season, Tenhach became the new head coach of Manchester United. In his first season, he led Manchester United to third place in the Premier League with 75 points and won the League Cup championship. In the 2023-2024 season, Tenhach's coaching record declined sharply. Manchester United ranked 8th in the Premier League with 60 points, but with the FA Cup championship, Tenhach was still able to stay. In the 2024-2025 season, in the 9th round of the Premier League, Tenhach was dismissed after Manchester United lost to West Ham United 1-2.

In November 2024, Amorin officially became Manchester United's head coach, drew 1-1 with Ipswich in the first away game in the Premier League. So far, Amorin's coaching record is 16 wins, 8 draws and 15 losses, with a winning rate of only 41%, ranking second from the bottom among Manchester United's previous head coaches after Ferguson, only higher than Rangnick who has coached for half a season (win rate of 37.9%). So it is not groundless to say that Amorin may be dismissed after the season is over.

Judging from Manchester United's performance in recent seasons, it is completely correct to say that Mourinho is the best coach after Ferguson. It is no wonder that Sir Ratcliff has the idea of ​​asking Mourinho to return. If Amorin is dismissed and Manchester United really invites Mourinho, will the madman be willing to ignore past grudges and renew his relationship with Manchester United? In Brother Bao’s opinion, the possibility is quite high!

First of all, Mourinho still has a lot of feelings for Manchester United. After being fired by Manchester United, he did not say anything bad about Manchester United, which is in sharp contrast to his sacking by Tottenham, and he has always regarded leading Manchester United to the Premier League runner-up as a major achievement in his coaching career. Moreover, the Glazer family was the leader of Manchester United, and now it is Sir Ratcliffe. Secondly, Mourinho has always been eager to return to the Premier League to prove himself, especially a strong team like Manchester United. The strong combination of the strongest traffic team Manchester United and the strongest traffic coach Mourinho will surely attract the attention of fans all over the world. In the end, Mourinho was not happy in the Turkish Premier League. Under the pressure of Galatasaray, Fenerbahce was hit hard, and Mourinho was also suspended and fined many times. If there was a better place to go, Mourinho would not want to stay in Turkey.

As a former Manchester United fan and a permanent Mourinho fan, Bao Ge still really hopes to see Mourinho become Manchester United coach again!
