Manchester United’s hierarchy remains committed to supporting manager Ruben Amorim despite the club’s worst Premier League start in 33 years. The Red Devils have collected just four points from their opening four games, while also suffering an embarrassing Carabao Cup exit to League Two side Grimsby Town.
Amorim’s unwavering commitment to his three-center-back system has drawn criticism, with the Portuguese coach defiantly stating: “When I want to change my philosophy, I will change. If not, you have to change the man”. United’s leadership recognizes the need for a long-term approach after cycling through eight different managers since Sir Alex Ferguson’s departure.
The manager faces mounting pressure ahead of this weekend’s crucial fixture against Chelsea, with particular scrutiny over his decision to consistently overlook talented midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. The 20-year-old has yet to start a Premier League game this season despite impressive substitute appearances.
