After losing 0-3 away to Manchester City, the pressure on Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has intensified further. Nevertheless, the club's management has stated that it is still willing to give him more time to help the team gradually turn the current situation around.
Since officially taking charge of Manchester United in November last year, Amorim has secured only 8 wins in 31 Premier League matches, resulting in a less-than-ideal win rate. However, according to Camel Live's information from internal sources, Manchester United's board of directors still remains trusting of Amorim at present and has not set a clear deadline for this support.
That said, some senior officials also revealed to Camel Live that the club clearly recognizes that the team must show a trend of improvement in results as soon as possible. They believe that compared with last season, the team has actually made visible progress in certain aspects.
Prior to this round of the Manchester Derby, the Manchester United side coached by Amorim actually led the Premier League in a number of attacking statistics, including expected goals (xG), total number of shots, and touches inside the opposition's penalty area. Even in this heavy defeat, Manchester United's possession rate was even slightly higher than that of Manchester City, and the number of shots was almost on par with the opponent. These performances have led some senior club officials to believe that in the early stages of the new season, the team has mostly lost due to issues in the handling of key details, and the overall development direction has not deviated from the right track.
