The figures speak for themselves. Ruben Amorim has been taking place on the Manchester United bench for almost three months and an observation is almost three months old. In 19 directed games, the Portuguese won 9 for almost as many defeats (8) and two small draws. Over this period, the Red Devils scored as much (34 goals) as they conceded. The Portuguese recovered the club in 13th place from the Premier League to the 12th day. After the new disappointment at Old Trafford against Crystal Palace last Sunday (0-2), MU is still 13th but European places were away.
The beginnings of the former Sporting CP coach are frankly complicated, as he expected there. From the first days, he had not hesitated to display the color. “”We will suffer for a long time and we will try to win matches, it will take time. We have to win matches, but we could have lost without Onana. So I think we have to understand this and think and be pragmatic, because these guys had two days to train to change so many things“, He said after his first match on the bench, a bad draw (1-1) against Ipswich, promoted and relegated.
Already 5 home losses in the championship for Amorim
But the matches are linked and the counter-performance follow each other, especially at home in Amorim has already lost 5 times in 7 games. Accablant statistics, barely covered by a few exploits such as the victory at Manchester City (3-2), the draw torn from Anfield (2-2) in the Premier League, or this qualification for penalties on the Arsenal lawn In the 4th round of FA Cup. Even services in the Europa League have not frankly convinced. Even if they finished undefeated in this first phase, the Red Devils laboriously beat opponents of low reputations (Bodø/Glimt, Viktoria Plzen and Rangers) with regard to their financial power.
Gary Neville even goes so far as to assert that Murim is worse than his predecessor, Erik Ten Hag. “”I thought it would be better with the arrival of Ruben Amorim. I thought that with enthusiasm and the new system, players would adhere to it, and that we would see a rebound ”predicted the former captain of Mu on Sky Sports. Badly took him. “”We have seen exactly the opposite. The situation has worsened considerably and it is surprising. There will be much more harm towards the end of the season and it will be harmfulHe continues. He fears for the rest of the adventure and a possible disengagement of players if the results are not there.
The transfer window did not give satisfaction
“”The leaders will obviously keep Ruben Amorim but the more we lose, the more difficult it is to convince the players of your game project. If they lose, they continue to be criticized. The spotlights turn more on them and the supporters leave unhappy. We cannot continue to lose. The players will depress and lose confidence in the project.The transition to a three -led defense brought directly from Sporting has not yet borne fruit. And not to fix anything, Lisandro Martinez is undoubtedly forfeited for the rest of the season. Some observers even force the line by affirming that the Portuguese has already lost more games in England than with the Ledu. This is obviously false (33 defeats with his former club).
The transfer window could have relieved the technician a little but the feeling that dominates is rather opposite. By giving in Marcus Rashford and Antony on loan to Aston Villa and Betis, Manchester United rather gives the impression of being weakened. Only the young left side of Lecce, Patrick Dorgu, landed. The results do not help, the atmosphere is complicated in the locker room. The relationship between Amorim and Garnacho, a rare player giving satisfaction in recent months, is cool. There was even talk of a departure this winter. Finally, the only valve of the moment is this 4th round of FA Cup against Leicester this Friday. It is probably by this way that Murim can finally hope to obtain a good note, and make doubts.
