Sean Dyche fires dig at Ruben Amorim and puts himself forward for Man Utd job if head coach is sacked

The Englishman has been out of work since he parted ways with Everton in January 2025.

Former Watford, Burnley and Everton boss Sean Dyche has made a huge claim about Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim.

Dyche, 53, has been without a coaching role since he parted company with Everton in January 2025, following a poor run of form during the first half of the Premier League campaign.

The ex-Burnley boss has since made appearances on various radio stations and featured on Thursday’s episode of The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, alongside Roy Keane, Gary Neville, Ian Wright and Jill Scott.

And fittingly, Manchester United’s recent run of form under head coach Amorim was quickly the topic of conversation.

Of course, since Amorim took charge of United in November 2024, he has led the Red Devils to just six Premier League wins in 25 matches, which has seen the club slump to 16th place in the top flight.

United’s season could be salvaged if they win the Europa League final against Tottenham Hotspur later this month – this would see them qualify for next season’s Champions League. A defeat would see them miss out on European competition.

Speaking about Amorim’s poor record, Dyche said: “He’s not going to change the way he plays. He [Ruben Amorim] better win some games – pretty quick.

“I reckon if I went there and played my way, we’d win more games. Just 4-4-2 – give them basic rules of principles.

“We’re all going, ‘Fair play’ – but, he’s been there a while now, so you better start bringing some wins soon.”

He added: “Howard Wilkinson had a great saying, he said, ‘Win, survive, succeed’. Basically, you have to win first, and then you can survive because you’re winning, and then success is when you do lay down all your principles and your playing style.

“So, if he can win enough, which is the worry at the minute, and then survive the process, and then succeed – then that’s going to be better.”

The Kettering-born manager then went on to reveal that United is the club he’d like to manage most but admitted the chances of this happening were slim.

Dyche continued: “It was always Manchester United because of the size of the club, not because it’s Man U – but due to the sheer grandeur, particularly back then.

“I know they are going through a tough run at the minute, but the whole worldwide feel of it. That’s a big superpowered club.”
