EPL: Man Utd take decision on sacking Amorim after 3-0 defeat to Man City
Manchester United's board continues to back Ruben Amorim despite a poor start with just 31 points from 31 Premier League games and the team's lowest start in 33 years.
- Following the derby, Amorim faced criticism after Manchester City beat Manchester United 3-0, increasing pressure on the manager.
- Poor returns since his arrival show Ruben Amorim has 31 points from 31 Premier League matches with 16 defeats, compounding last season's 15th-place finish and 27 points after 26 rounds in the 2024/2025 season.
- Despite strong underlying stats—70 shots, 128 touches, and 8 in xG—Amorim insists he will not change his philosophy, even amid criticism.
- For now, United retain faith in Ruben Amorim but insiders warn the Manchester United hierarchy's patience could erode if results do not improve over the coming weeks.
- Benfica figures have fuelled speculation by attending the derby and publicly commenting, with Joao Noronha Lopes, Benfica presidential candidate, saying: `When quizzed if he would like to see Amorim as manager of Benfica in the near future, Noronha Lopes added`, as elections on October 25 could influence any move.
