Ruben Amorim is now Manchester United’s manager. He has already done something new. This is something Erik ten Hag never achieved. In his first home league match, United won 4-0 over Everton. Ten Hag never managed to do this his entire time at the club.
This moment shows Amorim can make a mark — even in small ways.
A Home Win That Stands Out
Old Trafford was buzzing when United beat Everton by four goals. That kind of dominant win at home on your first league outing is rare. It gives hope. It gives belief. And it gives a fresh start.
For Ten Hag, such a game never came his way. Amorim did it early. That gives him a boost in goodwill among fans and media.
But the Larger Picture is Rough
Still, it hasn’t all been smooth. Last season United finished 15th in the Premier League — a deeply disappointing result for a club of this stature. Also, Amorim’s first season ended with a defeat in the Europa League final. No trophies, no Champions League. Support from above helps him keep going. Sir Jim Ratcliffe, United’s co-owner, says Amorim will have three years to prove himself.
What This One Win Tells Us
That 4-0 home win is more than a result. It’s a signal. It says Amorim’s style can work. The tactics can click. But it must be backed by consistency.
The team must build from this. They must not slip back into old habits. They must learn quickly what works and what doesn’t.
Author’s Insight
That 4-0 win is not the end but the beginning. It’s what gives Amorim breathing space and fan hope. But he must now deliver week in, week out. If he can string together strong performances, that moment will be remembered as the turning point. If not, it will be just a lone bright spot in a dark stretch.
Amorim has shown he can do what Ten Hag could not — but now he must prove he can do more going forward.
