Manchester United executives remain committed to head coach Ruben Amorim despite growing criticism following another disappointing Premier League result, according to Sky Sports News sources.
Leadership Stands Firm Amid Criticism
The club's hierarchy, including minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, continues to support Amorim as the Portuguese manager approaches his first anniversary at Old Trafford. This backing comes despite United collecting just 34 points from 33 matches under Amorim's leadership and failing to achieve consecutive wins during his tenure.
"The club is determined to take a long-term view in all decisions - from player recruitment to coaching staff," a Sky Sports News source revealed.
Mounting Challenges for Amorim
Recent performances have intensified scrutiny, with the 3-1 loss to Brentford marking a new low point. Club legends have voiced concerns, with Gary Neville expressing worry about player confidence in Amorim's system and Wayne Rooney questioning the manager's ability to turn things around.
Key issues include:
- Inconsistent team selections and tactical changes
- Poor league positioning (14th after six matches)
- Contrast with Crystal Palace's success using similar formations
Critical Period Ahead
While no official deadline exists, Saturday's match against Sunderland looms large. The international break following this fixture could serve as a natural evaluation point for club leadership.
Amorim himself acknowledged the challenges: "We must work on everything to improve. The consistency issues frustrate me as much as anyone."
As pressure builds from fans and pundits alike, including scrutiny from Sky Sports analysts Jamie Carragher, the coming weeks will prove crucial in determining whether Amorim can retain Ratcliffe's confidence and turn around United's fortunes.
