đź”— Share this article Manchester United Head Coach Amorim States He Can't Avoid Disappointing Results Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim endures the stress during the three-one loss at Brentford Man Utd head coach Ruben Amorim confesses he cannot conceal from his disappointing performance and says it is normal that club legends are commenting on him. Recently, the club's all-time goalscorer Wayne Rooney told his program that "the spirit has vanished" from his former club. The Portuguese manager has managed just 18 victories from his forty-nine matches in charge, including nine out of thirty-three in the Premier League, where he has yet to achieve back-to-back consecutive victories. Despite the fact that senior Old Trafford sources are adamant that Sir Jim Ratcliffe remains supportive the manager, failure to beat newly promoted their next opponents on the weekend will trigger new speculation about his position heading into the upcoming two-week pause in domestic football. "This is understandable," said the Portuguese coach, when questioned about Rooney's comments. "You can't hide from the outcomes." "Then you have the history from the previous campaign, [although] that period for me is irrelevant." Fan Reaction and Present Situation Manchester United's supporters remained behind their manager following last season's dismal performance, when they ended up 15th in the league - their poorest finish since the 1973-74 relegation season - and were beaten in the European showpiece, in the belief that the current campaign would be considerably better. The manager told supporters the position would improve because he had greater opportunity to work with his players without the midweek distraction of continental football. That is not been how the initial six fixtures have unfolded as United have experienced three losses already and sit fourteenth in the standings. Coach's Reaction to Questions When questioned what promises he could give supporters that the circumstances will get better, Amorim added: "This is not time to speak, it is the moment to prove." "Personally look at the fixtures in the current campaign and, for me, they are totally distinct, but I have nothing to say at the current time." Man Utd presently occupy 14th position in the top flight Amorim has won just 18 of his forty-nine games in control Wayne Rooney recently questioned the team's current situation The upcoming fixture against their opponents is important for Amorim's position
