Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is under immense pressure after a disappointing start to the season.
Manchester United have managed just three wins in seven Premier League matches so far, and rumours suggest he could be shown the door soon. According to a report by ESPN, the club hierarchy feels that the Manchester United players still back the Portuguese manager to turn things around. It will be interesting to see if results improve in the coming weeks.
Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they should be competing at the top end of the table. They have not been able to fight for major trophies in recent seasons. The Portuguese tactician has been backed significantly with transfer funds. He has signed multiple quality players, but the results have not improved on the pitch.
It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can turn things around soon. They have been linked with multiple managers, including Unai Emery, and it is fair to assume that Amorim will be shown the door if the results do not improve drastically. The club hierarchy will not want to be patient much longer.
Can Amorim turn it around?
There is no doubt that Amorim is a quality manager, and he has shown his ability at Sporting CP in the past. However, the move to the Premier League has not worked out for him so far. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops, as he will be desperate to hold onto his job.
The Portuguese manager is clearly on thin ice right now, and the club hierarchy will be expecting instant improvement in the coming weeks. Manchester United should be securing a top-four finish in the league and fighting for trophies.
The Red Devils have already crashed out of the EFL Cup, and it will be interesting to see if they can perform well in the FA Cup this season. Having failed to secure European football for this campaign, winning a domestic trophy could prove vital for them. Nevertheless, with players still backing Amorim, he will hope to turn things around at Old Trafford.
