"Football management is a numbers game and it's a simple equation: Win more games than you lose, score more goals than you concede, and get more decisions right than you get wrong. But Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is failing in each of those principles right now, perhaps because he still hasn't recognized that his preferred 3-4-3 formation is only causing trouble for his struggling team."
"Saturday's 3-1 defeat at Brentford was the 17th Premier League loss United have suffered during the 40-year-old's 33 games in charge -- a run that has generated just 34 points at an average of 1.03 per game. His win rate in the competition is 27.3% -- Graham Potter was fired by West Ham at the weekend with a win rate of 26% -- which makes him, by some distance, the worst United manager in the Premier League era."
Ruben Amorim's tenure at Manchester United is producing poor results, undermined by a preferred 3-4-3 formation that is causing tactical problems. United's position remains that Amorim retains backing while new signings and confidence are expected to reverse fortunes. The manager's record shows 17 Premier League defeats in 33 games, producing 34 points at 1.03 points per game and a 27.3% win rate. That win rate is worse than recent dismissed managers and places Amorim as the poorest-performing United manager in the Premier League era by that metric. Statistical measures offer no ready mitigation for his position.
