After Manchester United’s 0-3 defeat to Manchester City, the future of manager Rúben Amorim has once again sparked widespread doubts. Across 31 Premier League games in charge, Amorim has secured just 8 wins and accumulated a total of 31 points—a record that ranks as the worst among permanent Premier League teams over the same period.
Manchester United legend Gary Neville spoke out with blunt concern: “We’re only 4 games into the season, and United are already in 14th place. If they’re still in 14th or 15th by October, Amorim will be in trouble. They have to start winning soon. If they lose to Chelsea next week, they could drop to 15th or 16th—and that’s only 5 games into the season. You’d find United in the bottom half of the table as early as October. Yet they’ve spent £200 million, and they gave Amorim a full pre-season to prepare. A turnaround has to happen quickly, and Amorim’s ideas have to start working with the players fast.”
“I worry for Amorim, and I fear what’s going to happen in the next few weeks. I don’t think this is a time to panic, but I’ve seen this situation before—we’ve all watched this movie.”
