In the fourth round of the Premier League, Manchester United lost to Manchester City 0-3 away. After 4 rounds of the league, Manchester United has 1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses and 4 points, ranking 14th in the standings, which is the worst record since Manchester United's 4 rounds of league games since the 1992-93 season. Manchester Evening News said that despite the team's poor start, Amorin will not be dismissed. Sky Sports also confirmed the news, saying that Amorin's position as coach is still stable. According to Sky Sports, after Ferguson retired, Manchester United already had 8 coaches, and the club had no intention of continuing to change coaches frequently.

Talking about Manchester United's bleak start of this season, celebrity Scholes said, "I don't think this team has enough strength. Manchester United has four or five players in the midfield, but whether it is Casemiro, B Fe or Menu, no matter how Amorin matches, the effect is not good."

"This is actually a big problem. I have always believed that the midfield is a position that Manchester United should definitely give priority to signings. The team needs a midfielder who has impact, can control the ball, and can control the game."

"The goalkeeper is also a big problem. They really have to wait until the match against Greensby (the second round of the League Cup, Manchester United was eliminated from penalty shootout) before they realize that Onana is not good enough?"

"Donnarumma entered the transfer market, but Manchester United Not participating in the competition is simply a 'crime'. The management chose to buy a striker. The team's forward line does need to be strengthened, but do you really need to buy three? I can't say it well. "

"Manchester United can't continue like this anymore, it's really impossible. Amorin has to think about it and then conclude, 'I have to make a change, because the current approach doesn't work and can't get the desired result'. The evidence is in front of us."

"I like Amorin, he speaks well and is a likable person. But the result is the important thing."

"If Manchester United's performance does not improve, the team's performance on the court will not matter. Amorin must lead the team to win some games, otherwise the pressure will come quickly."
