"It's no wonder Ruben Amorim spent the closing moments of Manchester United's defeat to Brentford staring at the floor. That's the only place he can escape the reality of his team's continued slide. United's latest defeat means the Portuguese manager has now lost nearly twice as many matches (17) as he has won (nine). Under Amorim, United have taken just 31 points from 31 Premier League matches, giving him the worst record of the club's five permanent post-Sir Alex Ferguson managers."
"Firing Amorim, though, would be politically significant. CEO Omar Berrada reportedly pushed hard for his appointment nearly a year ago, as did sporting director Jason Wilcox. Amorim's hiring was the first major move of the Sir Jim Ratcliffe age and so his firing would raise questions over Ineos's involvement in all this. Plus, some adjustment time was always meant to be part of Amorim's process."
Ruben Amorim's Manchester United continues to decline, with the Portuguese manager losing 17 matches and winning nine. United have taken 31 points from 31 Premier League games under Amorim, the worst record among the club's five permanent post-Sir Alex Ferguson managers. The team's struggles include persistent tactical rigidity, notably the continued use of a 3-4-3 system, and numerous other problems affecting performance. Dismissing Amorim would carry political consequences because CEO Omar Berrada and sporting director Jason Wilcox supported his appointment, and his hiring was a key early move under Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Early rebuild expectations and promised adjustment time have not produced improvements.
