Manchester United’s Management back Amorim despite abysmal results

Manchester United’s head coach Ruben Amorim continues to receive strong backing from both the club’s management, despite the team’s precarious position in the Premier League standings.

With the Red Devils poorstart to the season, the decision to retain Amorim has raised eyebrows among fans and pundits alike.

Sources close to the club confirm that there are no immediate plans to replace the 40-year-old Portuguese manager, even as Manchester United languish in the lower half of the table.

This stance comes despite Amorim’s troubling record, which includes a win rate of just 27% in the Premier League, the lowest in the club’s history, and more losses (19) than wins (18) since taking the helm.

Amorim himself has expressed a steadfast resolve, stating in a recent interview, “I am never concerned about my job. I am not that kind of guy. It is not my decision.” His comments reflect a belief in his vision for the team, even as results have failed to materialize.

The management’s decision to stick with Amorim is underpinned by a belief that the current squad needs time to adapt to his tactical approach.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is reportedly among those who feel it is only fair to judge Amorim on a full season with the right team in place. This sentiment is echoed by the squad, with players largely backing their head coach despite the mounting pressure.

However, the situation at Old Trafford remains tense. The team’s recent form, including an embarrassing defeat to Brentford and a lack of European football, has intensified scrutiny on Amorim’s tenure.

Former England manager Gareth Southgate, who has been linked with the role in the past, is not expected to be considered if a change is made, according to reports from NBC Sports Soccer.

As Manchester United fail to get their win rates up despite their summer signings, the decision to back Amorim could be a gamble with high stakes. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether this faith in the young manager pays off or if the Red Devils will need to reconsider their options.

For now, Amorim remains at the helm, with the hope that results will improve and justify the confidence placed in him by the club and its players.
