As pressure mounts on struggling boss Ruben Amorim, reports suggest Manchester United’s new co-owner is considering a sensational move for the Arsenal legend.
Manchester United’s turbulent season has taken a new twist, with reports emerging that co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is contemplating a surprise move for Arsenal icon Cesc Fabregas should the club’s managerial position become vacant.
The speculation comes amid growing turmoil at Old Trafford, where current manager Ruben Amorim is under intense scrutiny. The team’s poor form has persisted into the new campaign, leaving them stranded in 14th place in the Premier League. With Amorim averaging barely a point per game since his arrival, there are genuine fears the historic club could be dragged into a relegation battle.
The situation is so precarious that club officials reportedly fear Amorim may choose to resign to protect his own reputation, rather than wait to be dismissed. The manager is said to be taken aback by the intense, unrelenting scrutiny that comes with the United job and the knee-jerk reaction to every defeat.
Despite the chaos, Ratcliffe and his INEOS team are described as “desperate” to be patient and give Amorim a full season to turn things around. However, contingency plans are being drawn up, with a long list of potential replacements already circulating, including managers from Brighton, Bournemouth, and Crystal Palace.
Now, adding a layer of intrigue, Fabregas‘s name has entered the frame. The former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder, once a hated rival, has a complicated history with the club, which reportedly tried to sign him on two separate occasions. This potential appointment would mark one of the most dramatic and controversial moves in recent Premier League history, signaling a bold new direction from the Ratcliffe regime.
