Manchester United Manager Ruben Amorim Admits He Cannot Avoid Disappointing Results
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim feels the strain during their three-one loss at opponents
Man Utd manager Ruben Amorim confesses he cannot conceal from his poor performance and says it is normal that club legends are commenting on him.
On Tuesday, United's all-time goalscorer Wayne Rooney stated on his program that "the soul has vanished" from his former club.
Amorim has achieved just 18 wins from his 49 matches in charge, featuring nine out of thirty-three in the Premier League, where he has still to record two successive wins.
Although senior Old Trafford sources are certain that Sir Jim Ratcliffe remains behind Amorim, an inability to overcome newly promoted their next opponents on the weekend will trigger new rumors about his role heading into the upcoming two-week pause in domestic football.
"This is understandable," stated the Portuguese manager, when asked about Rooney's remarks. "You can't hide from the outcomes."
"Additionally you have the legacy from last season, [although] last season for me doesn't matter."
Fan Reaction and Current Situation
United's fans stayed behind their manager following the previous campaign's poor showing, when they finished fifteenth in the table - their poorest finish since the 1973/74 relegation campaign - and were beaten in the European showpiece, in the expectation that the current campaign would be considerably better.
The manager promised supporters the position would improve because he had additional opportunity to work with his players without the weekly distraction of continental football.
However is not been how the first six games have developed as United have endured 3 defeats so far and are currently fourteenth in the standings.
Coach's Reaction to Concerns
When asked what guarantees he could give supporters that the circumstances will change, the manager continued: "This is not the time to talk, it is the moment to show."
"Personally analyze the games this season and, for me, they are entirely distinct, but I have nothing to add at the current time."
- Manchester United presently occupy the fourteenth position in the Premier League
- The manager has secured just 18 of his forty-nine matches in control
- The former striker recently criticized the team's current direction
- Saturday's fixture against Sunderland is critical for Amorim's position
