Overview

• Following a 3-0 derby loss to Manchester City, Ruben Amorim said he will not change his philosophy unless he decides to, drawing rebuke from Peter Schmeichel for putting himself above the club.
• Gary Pallister questioned frequent centre-back substitutions that disrupt cohesion and suggested the defence could settle once Lisandro Martinez returns from injury.
• Reporting indicates United’s hierarchy still backs Amorim, though insiders have raised concerns about his leadership presence during difficult moments.
• United are said to be angry about fresh leaks, including claims that captain Bruno Fernandes is unhappy playing deeper in the 3-4-2-1 setup.
• Multiple outlets report it would cost around £12m to dismiss Amorim within a year, while transfer plans face headwinds as Dayot Upamecano says he is happy to remain at Bayern.
