Man Utd Head Coach Amorim States He Can't Escape Underwhelming Record
Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim feels the stress during the 3-1 loss at opponents
Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim confesses he cannot hide from his poor performance and states it is normal that Old Trafford former stars are questioning him.
Recently, United's all-time goalscorer Wayne Rooney stated on his show that "the soul has gone" from his former club.
Amorim has achieved just eighteen victories from his forty-nine games in charge, featuring nine out of thirty-three in the English top flight, where he has still to achieve back-to-back successive wins.
Despite the fact that senior club insiders are adamant that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is still backing Amorim, failure to beat recently promoted their next opponents on Saturday will ignite new rumors about his future heading into the upcoming two-week international break.
"This is normal," commented the Portugal-born coach, when questioned about the former striker's observations. "You can't escape from the outcomes."
"Furthermore you have the legacy from last season, [although] that period for me doesn't matter."
Supporter Response and Present Situation
United's supporters remained supportive of their manager following last season's disappointing performance, when they ended up fifteenth in the table - their poorest showing since the 1973/74 relegation season - and were defeated in the European final, in the expectation that the current campaign would be considerably improved.
The manager promised supporters the situation would improve because he had greater time to prepare with his players without the weekly distraction of continental competition.
However is not how the initial six games have developed as Manchester United have suffered 3 defeats so far and find themselves 14th in the table.
Manager's Reaction to Questions
When asked what assurances he could offer fans that the position will get better, Amorim added: "It's not moment to talk, it is the time to demonstrate."
"I analyze the fixtures in the current campaign and, for me, they are entirely distinct, but I have nothing to add at present."
- Man Utd currently hold 14th place in the Premier League
- Amorim has won just 18 of his 49 games in control
- The former striker recently questioned the team's present direction
- Saturday's fixture against Sunderland is important for the manager's position
