Man United owners set for high-level meeting after latest crisis

Tensions are rising at Manchester United, with the Glazer family said to be prepared to intervene amid growing turmoil surrounding manager Ruben Amorim’s leadership and the club’s inconsistent performance.

The Glazers have called a high-level meeting to address growing concerns about the team’s trajectory, fan dissatisfaction, and the club’s financial and sporting outlook, according to a reliable source on X.

While Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s INEOS group, which oversees United’s football operations, is believed to favor giving Amorim more time to implement his philosophy, the Glazer family, as majority owners, are said to be losing patience.

Sources close to the board indicate that the family are “deeply concerned” that Amorim’s struggles could derail the club’s season and, more importantly, threaten their Champions League qualification.

Man United owners are worried about finances

Such a failure would have serious financial repercussions, potentially damaging commercial revenues and sponsorship negotiations. The Glazer family is believed to view the matter as not just a sporting issue, but a business crisis.

United’s performances have been inconsistent under Amorim, with a mix of promising performances and disappointing results leaving the club outside the top four.

On Thursday night, they had the chance to close the gap on the clubs above them but failed to beat West Ham United at Old Trafford.

In their previous home match, Amorim’s side were unable to beat Everton down to ten men.

The lack of strength and identity in recent matches has led to sharp criticism from fans who have begun to wonder whether the Portuguese coach is the right man to lead the rebuilding process.

Many feel that the same cycle of uncertainty that has plagued previous managers, from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to Erik ten Hag, is now being repeated.

A crisis meeting between Glazers and INEOS executives is reportedly scheduled to take place in the coming days.

The agenda is expected to include an in-depth review of Amorim’s performance, player morale and potential managerial replacements if the club decides to make a change before the January transfer window.
