Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim endures the stress during the three-one loss at Brentford
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim confesses he cannot hide from his poor record and says it is expected that club former stars are criticizing him.
Recently, United's record scorer Wayne Rooney mentioned during his program that "the soul has gone" from his old team.
Amorim has secured just 18 wins from his forty-nine matches in charge, including 9 out of 33 in the English top flight, where he has yet to achieve back-to-back successive wins.
Despite the fact that high-level Old Trafford insiders are certain that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is still backing Amorim, failure to defeat recently promoted Sunderland on the weekend will trigger fresh discussion about his position heading into the upcoming fortnight pause in domestic football.
"This is understandable," stated the Portuguese manager, when questioned about Rooney's remarks. "One can't escape from the outcomes."
"Additionally you have the legacy from last season, [although] last season for me is in the past."
Supporter Response and Current Circumstances
United's supporters stayed behind their manager following last season's poor fare, when they ended up 15th in the table - their poorest showing since the 1973/74 relegation season - and were defeated in the European showpiece, in the hope that this season would be considerably improved.
The manager told fans the position would get better because he had greater time to prepare with his team without the midweek distraction of continental competition.
That is not how the first six fixtures have unfolded as United have endured 3 losses already and are currently 14th in the table.
Coach's Reaction to Questions
When asked what guarantees he could give fans that the circumstances will improve, Amorim stated: "It's not moment to speak, it is the moment to show."
"I review the fixtures in the current campaign and, for me, they are completely distinct, but I have little to comment at this moment."
- Manchester United presently occupy the fourteenth place in the top flight
- Amorim has secured just eighteen of his forty-nine matches in charge
- Wayne Rooney recently questioned the team's current situation
- Saturday's fixture against Sunderland is crucial for the manager's future
