The Digest:
Manchester United’s hierarchy has reaffirmed its commitment to head coach Ruben Amorim despite the club’s worst Premier League start in 33 years, insisting his long-term project will not be derailed by early setbacks. Sunday’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City amplified external pressure, but internal resolve remains firm.
Key Points:
- United have taken just four points from their first four league games—their worst start since 1992/93.
- The club also suffered an embarrassing Carabao Cup exit to League Two’s Grimsby Town.
- Amorim has defiantly refused to alter his tactical system, stating, “If not, you have to change the man.”
- Key injuries to Mason Mount and Matheus Cunha have limited squad options.
- The board believes fine margins—like missed chances and superb opposition saves—have influenced results.
- Young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo remains a bench option, with Amorim prioritizing his development over immediate starts.
- Club legends like Neville and Keane have voiced concern, but executives see no benefit in a “knee-jerk” change.
