Ruben Amorim returns to the Premier League, soon to face Manchester United head-on?

Following his controversial departure from Old Trafford, Ruben Amorim is surprisingly linked with continuing his career in the Premier League, potentially facing Manchester United directly in the near future.

After a brief period away from the managerial role at Manchester United, Ruben Amorim’s future has become a hot topic of discussion across England. Just one week after being dismissed, the Portuguese coach has been repeatedly connected with several new clubs, most notably the possibility of staying in the Premier League.

If this scenario unfolds, Amorim could soon confront his former team, creating a unique storyline in England’s most exciting league.

Amorim left MU following a tense conflict with football director Jason Wilcox, culminating in controversial remarks during the post-match press conference after the draw with Leeds United.

The MU board made a swift decision to part ways, ending a 14-month spell that fell short of expectations for the coach who had previously enjoyed great success with Sporting Lisbon. Nevertheless, the fact that Amorim is quickly being considered for new roles indicates his professional reputation remains strong.

According to multiple sources in England, Amorim is attracting interest from several Big Six clubs, amid dissatisfaction with current performances. Tottenham Hotspur stands out as a notable candidate, where pressure is mounting on manager Thomas Frank.

The London club has been inconsistent, was knocked out of the FA Cup, and currently sits in the lower half of the Premier League table, putting the head coach’s position in jeopardy.

Former Spurs defender Sol Campbell made a striking comment regarding the possibility of Amorim joining Tottenham. Speaking to Sky Bet, Campbell openly stated: "Ruben Amorim". He continued: "They will be watching him. They might even be talking to him right now, which wouldn’t surprise me. I don’t think he’ll return to Portugal".

Campbell further analyzed the situation at Spurs and Thomas Frank’s position: "Thomas Frank is a top-level coach, but he’s no longer at Brentford — that’s a different story. Tottenham is a big club, and expectations are much higher". According to him, Tottenham’s search for a replacement is inevitable given the team’s unsatisfactory results.

“They want success and to keep moving forward positively. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are talking to other managers,” Campbell emphasized, adding that even good performances would only prolong Frank’s tenure if results don’t significantly improve.

If Amorim indeed returns to the Premier League to manage Tottenham, the prospect of facing MU carries special significance. It would not only be a reunion between a coach and his former club but also a major test for Amorim to prove himself again in one of Europe’s toughest environments. For fans, this scenario promises to be one of the most compelling stories in the Premier League soon.
