Fabian Hurzeler Denies Manchester United Manager Speculation, Affirms Commitment Brighton

Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has been widely linked as a potential replacement for Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim, whose position is reportedly under threat due to poor results. Despite the speculation, Hurzeler has expressed strong respect for Amorim and reiterated his commitment to Brighton, emphasizing that he is happy at the club and focused on their ongoing work. Hurzeler became the youngest permanent Premier League manager in 2024 and has led Brighton to notable successes, including impressive wins over Manchester City and Chelsea. Manchester United are struggling this season, sitting 14th in the Premier League, and have been eliminated from the League Cup early, increasing pressure on Amorim who joined the club in November 2024. Other managerial candidates reportedly under consideration for the United job include Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner, Bournemouth's Andoni Iraola, and former England manager Gareth Southgate. Hurzeler's contract with Brighton runs until 2027, and he has declined to comment on his future amid the rumors, underscoring his loyalty to his current club.
