Regarding Amorim’s position as Manchester United (Man Utd) manager, although the club’s senior management is growing increasingly disappointed with the current results, the club will not make hasty judgments on the manager’s future immediately after every defeat, nor will it frequently launch ad-hoc evaluations—regardless of external media pressure.
In the opening phase of this season’s Premier League, Man Utd has amassed just four points from four matches, setting the worst league start record for the club since the 1992/93 season. More embarrassingly, they were even eliminated from the EFL Cup by Grimsby Town, a team from England’s League Two.
Manager Amorim is well aware that the club’s ownership maintains patience with him, and they also clearly recognize that Man Utd’s revival cannot be achieved overnight—there is no such thing as a “quick fix.”
However, all parties also understand that the team’s current performance is far from meeting the expected standards.
Beyond this, in response to external calls for Amorim to change the formation, the Portuguese manager insists he will not alter his system or coaching philosophy. He firmly believes that the problem lies in the players’ mentality, not his coaching system, and even that the mentality of most players needs adjustment.
Nevertheless, Man Utd’s board of directors remains in a relatively pragmatic stance. According to internal sources, no one at the club is currently advocating for another managerial change or starting over; instead, the club is more inclined to maintain stability and support the current coaching staff in advancing their tactical and management plans.
