After 4 rounds in the Premier League, Man United have only won 4 points. This is the team's worst start in 33 years, while Ruben Amorim has become Man United's coach with the worst winning percentage since World War 2.
Since taking over as Man United manager to replace Erik ten Hag in November 2024, Ruben Amorim has won just eight of his 31 Premier League games. When asked whether he should change the playing system according to the 3-4-3 formation or not, Amorim said he had no intention of adjusting.
I will not change my philosophy. If Man United's board wants to change, they should change coaches. I will not change my philosophy. I will play my way until I want to change.
I understand that Man United's performance has not met expectations. But there are many things that people cannot know that have happened in the past few months. I understand everything. Fans losing faith is normal but I don't accept the fact that the team doesn't play better. I will do everything. I always think about what is best for the team, Ruben Amorim said after the match.
Last season, Man United were unbeaten against Man City in the Premier League, including one win and one draw. In the 0-3 defeat at the Etihad, according to Ruben Amorim, Man United played not too inferior to the home team. However, in the moments, Man City played better.
"We have conceded goals that should have been avoided. The biggest difference is that when Man United changed the state, we didn't score, Man City did better than us," Amorim emphasized.
The Portuguese strategist also emphasized that the problem of central midfielders is not a problem for Man United, especially having Bruno play as a central midfielder, unlike the star's strong position.
Amorim has understood and known all the talk around the issue, but he makes sense by using Bruno behind, to support the fast-paced players like Amad, Mbeumo and Sesko up front. The biggest problem is that Man United are not scoring, are not winning and all the pressure is increasingly on him and his students.
