Ruben Amorim still has complete backing of the Man United board | OneFootball

Manchester United are still one hundred percent behind Ruben Amorim as coach of the football club according to reports.

The Portuguese manager has only been in charge for just under two months, but there is already some uncertainty over his future.

There have been some positive results and displays such as a win at the Etihad against Manchester City and impressive draws away to Liverpool and Arsenal.

Nonetheless, this has been the exception to the norm as the club have only won three of his eleven Premier League matches in charge, losing four of the last six.

After the disappointing 1-3 defeat at home to Brighton and Hove Albion at the weekend, Amorim claimed that his side is “maybe the worst United team” in history.

Despite the shocking results which sees the club sit in 13th place in the league, “Man United manager Ruben Amorim still has the full backing of club chiefs despite their worrying recent form, sources have told Football Insider.”

“United chiefs do not want to make another change so soon after working hard to convince Amorim to take up the post at Old Trafford.”

“His contract with the Red Devils runs until June 2027 and he will get time to implement his methods and ideology at the club.”

United have yet to sign anyone during Amorim’s time at the club and have a squad that is not equipped to play the style of football that he demands.

The club are in talks with Lecce over the signing of a left wing-back, Patrick Dorgu, who is theoretically more suited to the type of system that he wants to implement at Old Trafford.

What’s more, fans will demand that the Portuguese coach is given the same sort of backing in the transfer window that Erik ten Hag was, as he spent millions upon millions on numerous players.

In addition, joining during the middle of the season was always going to be a struggle and fans will surely feel that it is tough to assess Amorim until he has had at least a couple of windows and a proper pre-season under his belt.
