Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has secured his first major individual honor in English football, being named the Premier League Manager of the Month for October 2025. The Portuguese coach was recognized for guiding his side to a perfect record, winning all three of their Premier League matches during the month. The accolade marks a significant upturn in form for the team and ends a two-year drought for a United boss to receive the award.
Amorim oversaw a pivotal run of results that included an important 2-0 win over Sunderland, a thrilling 4-2 victory against Brighton & Hove Albion, and most notably, a statement 2-1 win over bitter rivals Liverpool at Anfield. The Ruben Amorim Manager of the Month award was decided by a combination of votes from fans and a panel of football experts, who recognized the momentum shift achieved by the Portuguese manager.
In a gracious statement following the announcement, Amorim immediately deflected praise to his players. “The credit is not mine, the credit is for my players. They did really well,” he said, emphasizing the team effort. He added that the team’s new focus is on maintaining their trajectory: “Our goal is to win the next one [award], because it means we win football matches and that is our goal.”
The individual honors were a double celebration for the Red Devils, as forward Bryan Mbeumo also secured the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award for October. The Ruben Amorim Manager of the Month win confirms the club’s return to form under his leadership and injects much-needed confidence as the team looks to climb higher in the Premier League table.
