Man United Put Amorim on the Clock With Three-Game Review

United plan a reassessment after Chelsea, Brentford and Sunderland, with Amorim's refusal to alter his 3-4-2-1 central to concerns.

Overview

  • United sit 14th with four points from four matches after a 3-0 derby defeat at Manchester City, their worst league start in 33 years.
  • Despite public backing, club figures will gauge progress over the next three fixtures before the October international break, according to local reporting.
  • Amorim has stated he will not change his philosophy or formation, prompting warnings from ex-players including Paul Scholes and Gary Neville about predictable tactics and poor results.
  • Football Insider reports the October international window is being considered for a potential change, with Oliver Glasner and Andoni Iraola among names mentioned, and other outlets noting Gareth Southgate, Marco Silva and Mauricio Pochettino in the frame.
  • A finance expert told Football Insider that sacking Amorim would likely cost at least single-digit millions, potentially less than the remaining value of his contract.
