Manchester United’s season has reached another critical juncture, with results continuing to spark debate over the direction of the club.
Ruben Amorim remains under scrutiny as performances in the Premier League have not eased the pressure surrounding his position.
With United not competing in Europe this campaign, there is growing speculation about how the club will look to rebuild both domestically and in the transfer market.
Fans remain divided, some backing Amorim’s long-term vision, while others believe a change could be required if results fail to improve over the coming weeks.
And now, a familiar name has once again surfaced in the conversation over who could potentially take charge at Old Trafford.
Jose Mourinho has been dismissed by Turkish giants Fenerbahce after their failure to qualify for the Champions League this week.
The Portuguese coach was sent packing in the aftermath of the club’s midweek disappointment, bringing his time in Turkey to an abrupt end.
What has fuelled speculation further is the fact that Jose Mourinho himself dropped a major hint last year regarding where he would like to work next.
Back in October 2024, the former United manager openly admitted he would prefer to take on a Premier League side sitting in the lower half of the table once his Fenerbahce tenure ended.

“The best thing I have to do, when I leave Fenerbahce, is go to a club that doesn’t play in UEFA competitions,” Mourinho told reporters.
“So if any club in England from the bottom of the table needs a coach in two years, then I’m ready to go.”
The timing of those words now appears rather telling, as United themselves are not involved in any European competition this season.
With Amorim fighting to secure stability, Mourinho’s sudden availability adds another layer of intrigue to United’s managerial situation.
While no approach has been made, the noise surrounding Mourinho’s future and his potential Premier League return will only intensify in the weeks ahead.
United fans are now left wondering if the man who last delivered them Europa League and League Cup success could be lining up for a sensational comeback.
