"Sunday's 3-0 defeat at Manchester City left the former Sporting CP coach with a record of just eight wins in 31 Premier League games in charge since succeeding Erik ten Hag 10 months ago. And in terms of the 17 teams that have been in the Premier League since Amorim arrived at Old Trafford, United's haul of 31 points from 31 games leaves them at the bottom of that 17-team table."
"Tom Heaton was solid, confident and a reassuring presence in the team when he played in goal during preseason, but Amorim hasn't given him any game time this season, despite both Altay Bayindir and the now-departed André Onana making costly mistakes. Heaton is 39 and hasn't played regularly for over three years, but his experience could have been crucial in the opening weeks of the season. Amorim has left him on the bench."
Ruben Amorim faces growing pressure as Manchester United head coach after a run of poor results, including a 3-0 defeat at Manchester City. He has recorded only eight wins in 31 Premier League matches since succeeding Erik ten Hag ten months ago. United have collected 31 points from 31 games against the 17 teams in the division since his arrival, leaving them bottom of that comparative table. Critics question his squad management and selection, citing reliance on certain players and the sidelining of experienced options such as Tom Heaton. Goalkeeping errors and limited minutes for Kobbie Mainoo are cited as specific concerns.
