🔗 Share this article Man Utd Head Coach Ruben Amorim Confesses He Cannot Escape Disappointing Performance Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim feels the stress during their 3-1 defeat at Brentford Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim confesses he is unable to hide from his disappointing statistics and states it is understandable that club icons are criticizing him. Recently, United's all-time goalscorer Wayne Rooney mentioned during his podcast that "the soul has gone" from his old club. The Portuguese manager has managed just eighteen wins from his 49 games in control, including nine out of thirty-three in the English top flight, where he has yet to secure two successive victories. Despite the fact that senior Old Trafford sources are certain that the INEOS chief remains supportive the manager, failure to defeat newly promoted Sunderland on the weekend will trigger new discussion about his future heading into another two-week pause in domestic football. "This is understandable," stated the Portugal-born coach, when asked about the former striker's remarks. "One can't escape from the performance." "Furthermore you have the legacy from the previous campaign, [although] that period for me is irrelevant." Fan Reaction and Present Circumstances Manchester United's supporters stayed behind Amorim following the previous campaign's disappointing showing, when they finished fifteenth in the league - their lowest showing since the 1973/74 relegation campaign - and were beaten in the Europa League showpiece, in the expectation that the current campaign would be substantially improved. Amorim promised supporters the position would improve because he had more opportunity to train with his squad without the midweek distraction of continental competition. That is not been how the initial six games have developed as United have endured three defeats already and sit fourteenth in the standings. Manager's Response to Questions When asked what assurances he could provide followers that the situation will improve, the manager stated: "This is not time to say, it is the moment to demonstrate." "I review the fixtures in the current campaign and, for me, they are totally varied, but I have little to add at the current time." Man Utd presently hold the fourteenth place in the Premier League Amorim has won just 18 of his forty-nine games in charge Wayne Rooney recently criticized the club's present situation Saturday's fixture against Sunderland is critical for Amorim's future
