"The Portuguese tactician, who arrived at Old Trafford with a reputation as one of Europe's brightest young coaches, now finds himself fighting to convince both the fans and INEOS, the club's ownership group, that he remains the right man for the job. With just four points from their four matches this season, United have made their worst start to a Premier League season since 1992-93. With clubs like Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham running away in the league table, United are stuck in the bottom half of the table."
"In the aftermath of the derby loss, Amorim addressed supporters with a message filled with honesty, and not only that, but it looked more like a warning to the owners of the club. He said, as reported by Fabrizio Romano: I will do everything I can for Man United. This is my message to the fans. I'm suffering more than them. I won't change my philosophy. If they [INEOS] want it changed, you change the man. The defeat to City was particularly damaging, not just because of the score line, but because of the manner in which United were outclassed."
Manchester United's season has lurched into crisis after a 3-0 home defeat to Manchester City, placing intense pressure on head coach Ruben Amorim. Amorim arrived at Old Trafford with a strong reputation and now faces the task of convincing both supporters and INEOS that he is the right man to lead the club. United have four points from four matches, their worst Premier League start since 1992-93, and sit in the bottom half while rivals pull ahead. The derby loss exposed weaknesses across the pitch, narrowed Amorim's margin for error, and left questions over whether his philosophy will be allowed time to work.
