Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim said he does not worry about his job after another frustrating result.
United lost 3-1 to Brentford, erasing optimism from last week’s win over Chelsea and keeping them in the league’s bottom half.
Amorim acknowledged the team has collected 34 points from 33 league matches but still has not won back-to-back games.
He told BBC Match of the Day, “I will do the best I can every minute I am here.”
Club officials have reiterated support, but critics question whether Amorim can deliver consistent results this season.
Analysts Criticize Tactics and Flexibility
Former players questioned Amorim’s stubborn adherence to his 3-4-2-1 system despite repeated struggles.
Ashley Williams said United need a manager who adapts: “That isn’t working. You have to adjust.”
Alan Shearer warned Amorim faces massive pressure due to previous leadership errors at the club.
Martin Keown noted United’s poor win percentage and compared it unfavorably to Graham Potter, recently dismissed.
Micah Richards called United’s early goals “shambolic” and suggested Amorim’s rigidity could undermine his tenure.
Tactical Issues and Team Performance
United conceded two early goals due to defensive errors and allowed Brentford to exploit wide spaces.
Amorim claimed players practiced countering Brentford’s tactics but failed in execution under match pressure.
Bruno Fernandes missed his second penalty this season, extending United’s away league win drought to eight games.
Amorim described the season as “ups and downs,” saying momentum collapses quickly after losses despite previous improvements.
Critics highlight that tactical inflexibility and repeated errors prevent United from achieving consistent success under Amorim.
