Man Utd Head Coach Amorim Confesses He Cannot Avoid Underwhelming Results
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim feels the stress during the three-one loss at Brentford
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim acknowledges he cannot conceal from his poor statistics and states it is understandable that Old Trafford legends are questioning him.
Recently, United's all-time scorer Wayne Rooney mentioned during his show that "the spirit has gone" from his old club.
Amorim has achieved just 18 victories from his 49 games in charge, including 9 out of 33 in the English top flight, where he has still to achieve two consecutive wins.
Although high-level club insiders are certain that the club owner is still behind Amorim, failure to defeat recently promoted their next opponents on Saturday will spark fresh speculation about his role heading into the upcoming fortnight pause in domestic football.
"This is understandable," commented the Portugal-born manager, when asked about the former striker's comments. "One can't hide from the outcomes."
"Then you have the baggage from last season, [although] that period for me is in the past."
Supporter Response and Present Circumstances
United's supporters stayed supportive of their manager following the previous campaign's dismal performance, when they finished fifteenth in the table - their worst showing since the 1973/74 demotion campaign - and were defeated in the European showpiece, in the expectation that this season would be significantly better.
The manager promised fans the circumstances would improve because he had additional time to work with his team without the weekly commitment of European football.
However is not been how the opening six matches have materialised as Manchester United have endured 3 losses so far and sit fourteenth in the table.
Coach's Response to Concerns
When questioned what promises he could give followers that the position will change, the manager continued: "It's not the moment to speak, it is the moment to show."
"I look at the games this season and, for me, they are entirely different, but I have nothing to say at the current time."
- Man Utd presently hold 14th position in the Premier League
- The manager has secured just eighteen of his 49 matches in charge
- Wayne Rooney recently criticized the club's present situation
- Saturday's fixture against their opponents is critical for the manager's position
