Manchester United have been linked with a surprise move for Graham Potter, who has just been sacked by West Ham United. 

According to a report from Fichajes, Manchester United are considering a move for the 48-year-old. He was very poor during his time at West Ham, and it is highly unlikely that Manchester United will make a move for him.

They have been linked with Potter in the past. He was considered a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag.

Graham Potter would be a shocking choice

As per the BBC, he had a 24% win rate as the West Ham United manager since joining the club in January 2025. It is clear that he is not the right fit for Manchester United, and they should look to aim higher. 

Ruben Amorim has faced a lot of criticism in recent months, and it would not be a surprise if he is relieved of his duties soon. Manchester United finished in the bottom half of the league table last season, and they have picked up just two wins from six league matches this season. The results will need to change quickly if the Portuguese manager wants to hold onto his job. 

He has been backed significantly in the transfer market, and it is time for him to deliver on the pitch. 

Man United need an elite manager

If Manchester United decide to make a change, they should look to bring in an elite manager who has won major trophies at a big club. The expectations while managing a club like Manchester United are huge, and they need someone with considerable talent and experience. 

 It will be interesting to see if they can bring in a world-class candidate to replace the Portuguese manager. Amorim was highly rated across Europe before he joined Manchester United, but the move has clearly not worked out for either party. It would be ideal for them to part ways in the coming weeks.

  1. Manchester United is an farse from bloodsuckers like the American owners down to clueless part owner Radcliffe down to Mule stubborn E.grade coach Rubin Amorim SACK Amorim now enough is way more than enough what an utter embarssedment have united become , SACK SACK SACK Amorim now NOW, make Carrick interim manager until ZZ. Arrives or Ancelotti

  2. Amorim made it crystal clear that he is bent on destroying the Career of Kobbie Mainoo, so why can’t Radcliffe see this and keep a super talent like Mainoo and Sack clueless Amorim who sure gonna get united relegated

  3. When the club react to this latest defeat it will be to little to late
    it needs sorting now with a top manager iit is never going to get better while it just rumbles along from one disaster to another.

  4. Amorim needs to be sacked has been crystal clear since before christmas last year. The fact that SJR backed him and he is still here destroying Man Utd shows that SJR and his advisors know nothing about football and are as stubborn as Amorim. Why do they hate MU so much. SJR spent something like 1.7 billion just to destroy the club. What motivated him to do it?

  5. Ineos don’t have sack compensation for Amorim except he resigns, if the fans pressure him Amorim will work away, Amorim is not the type of coach a club should back, 9 months and no changes means this is a bigger clue than the 2 Portuguese clubs he turned around.
    Coaches like Oliver glasner and his EPL performance is the kind of coach Man utd should support.

  6. Let’s stop these stupid Southgate and Potter rumours Southgate hasn’t managed a club for years and Potter has been sacked we need a manager that is employed or has left by mutual consent and not sacked
