"Amorim is under severe pressure after the Carabao Cup penalty shootout elimination by Grimsby, the first time United have lost to a fourth-tier team in the competition. The reverse means the side are without a victory this season, having also lost to Arsenal and drawn with Fulham in the league, putting pressure on before their home game with Burnley on Saturday."
"United are understood to have no plans to sack Amorim but there is a sense at the club that if results do not turn his stubbornness may prompt him to walk away possibly as early as next week during the international break rather than change his methods. After last season's record low Premier League finish of 15th, the poor run is causing questions of Amorim from within the squad, the Guardian understands."
Ruben Amorim is under severe pressure following a Carabao Cup elimination by fourth-tier Grimsby, leaving Manchester United without a victory this season after a league loss to Arsenal and a draw with Fulham. The head coach insists on a 3-4-3 formation that has attracted scrutiny after a poor previous campaign and limited league points. Many players view his man-management as well-meaning but sometimes counter-productive. Club leaders currently have no plans to sack him, but there is concern he may resign during the international break rather than change his methods. Jason Wilcox may intervene to address tactical and personnel issues.
