"Ruben Amorim's going to come under big pressure. Manchester United are 14th in the league. Now it's only a few games in but next week [if] Manchester United lose, they go to 15th and 16th, that's five games in. Before you know it, it's October and Manchester United are in the bottom half of the table. That's where they couldn't be, having spent 200 million, him having had a preseason."
"Yeah, they might be seventh, eighth, ninth they could be in those sorts of positions but they can't be in the bottom half of the table. So there's got to be a quick turnaround pretty quickly, and the manager's idea has got to land pretty quickly with the players. Now, I'm not saying here today and I don't think there's any suggestion and I'm not suggesting that the players have down tools on him a little bit. But they're struggling a little bit. They're struggling."
"They're struggling against Burnley at home, I was at the match. They're struggling at Fulham away in large parts of the game. They're struggling at Grimsby. They've struggled here today. They're struggling to find rhythm, tempo, [and] performance levels. United struggled against Manchester City (Image credit: Simon Stacpoole/Offside/Offside via Getty Images) I was really heartened by the first game of the season against Arsenal I thought that was a really good performance they've built this, sort of, [thing, but] maybe now, Cunha gets injured,"
Ruben Amorim faces significant pressure after Manchester United's 3-0 derby defeat and inconsistent early-season results. United currently sit 14th and could drop further within a few games. Heavy summer spending and a full preseason raise expectations that make a bottom-half position unacceptable. Several matches have shown struggles to find rhythm, tempo, and consistent performance against Burnley, Fulham, Grimsby and Manchester City. Injuries to key players such as Cunha and Mount have disrupted cohesion and momentum. A rapid tactical and performance turnaround is required to stabilize results and reduce mounting pressure on the manager.
