Ruben Amorim Confident Manchester United Can Win Premier League Sooner Than Ferguson Expects

Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim has expressed confidence that the club can return to the top of the Premier League far sooner than the 10 or 11 years suggested by club legend Sir Alex Ferguson.

Ferguson, who led United to 13 league titles before retiring in 2013, recently warned that it might take a long period for the club to reclaim its dominant status in English football.

Speaking at a recent press conference, Amorim acknowledged Ferguson’s experience and knowledge of football but made it clear he disagrees with the long timeline.

“I don’t think it’s going to take that long to win the league,” he said. “I truly believe Manchester United can fight for the title in the next few years, regardless of who is managing at the time.”

Amorim’s remarks come amid a season in which Manchester United have positioned themselves near the top of the Premier League table, suggesting the club is steadily building a team capable of competing for the title.

He emphasized that the squad’s mentality, consistency in performances, and ongoing improvements are key factors that could accelerate United’s return to championship contention.

While Ferguson’s caution stems from his understanding of the challenges facing historically dominant clubs — including competition from financially powerful rivals, squad rebuilding, and internal management transitions — Amorim’s perspective reflects optimism and ambition.

He believes that a strong culture, belief in the players, and strategic planning under the current management can shorten what Ferguson views as a potentially lengthy rebuilding process.

Manchester United have not won the Premier League since 2013, and Amorim’s public confidence signals a clear message to fans and the squad that the club is aiming to compete at the highest level sooner rather than later.

Observers say his comments may also serve to instill belief in the team and create a positive, competitive environment as United pursue domestic glory once again.
