"Amorim has won just 18 matches of his 49 games in charge, including nine out of 33 in the Premier League, where he has yet to win two successive matches. Although senior Old Trafford sources are adamant Sir Jim Ratcliffe remains supportive of Amorim, failure to beat newly promoted Sunderland on Saturday will bring a fresh round of speculation over his future heading into another two-week international break."
""It is normal," said the Portuguese, when asked about Rooney's comments. "You can't run away from the results. "Then you have the baggage from last season, [although] last season for me doesn't matter." United's supporters remained behind Amorim following last season's dismal fare, when they finished 15th in the table - their worst performance since the 1973-74 relegation campaign - and were beaten in the Europa League final, in the belief and hope this season would be substantially better."
Ruben Amorim admits he cannot hide from a dire record and calls criticism from Old Trafford legends 'normal.' Wayne Rooney said 'the soul has gone' from the club on his BBC podcast. Amorim has won 18 of 49 matches overall and nine of 33 in the Premier League, without back-to-back league wins. Senior sources say Sir Jim Ratcliffe remains supportive, but another poor result against Sunderland would trigger fresh speculation before an international break. United finished 15th last season and lost the Europa League final. Amorim promised improvement without European fixtures, but United have three defeats from six and sit 14th.
