Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim says he is unconcerned about speculation surrounding his future as the new Premier League season begins.
The Portuguese coach replaced Erik ten Hag last October, guiding United to a 15th-place finish – the club’s worst-ever Premier League campaign.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s sweeping behind-the-scenes changes dominated headlines last season, but this summer has seen a fresh wave of optimism among United supporters.
The arrival of Benjamin Sesko for £74 million completes a revamped attack alongside Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, raising expectations at Old Trafford.
United open their 2025/26 campaign against Arsenal on Sunday, with Amorim stressing he is focused entirely on match preparation, not long-term scenarios.
“I don’t care about the future,” Amorim told reporters. “I live day by day and remove distractions from our preparation.”
Focus On Immediate Improvement, Not Long-Term Plans
Last season, Amorim expressed a wish to stay for 20 years, but for now, his focus is on steady, step-by-step progress.

The absence of European football gives United extra preparation time, something Wayne Rooney believes could help secure Champions League qualification this season.
Amorim admits United remain a work in progress, but insists the squad is fitter, sharper, and more prepared to meet the season’s demands.
United still aim to sign two players before the deadline, with Gianluigi Donnarumma and Carlos Baleba among the key remaining transfer targets.
