Ruben Amorim admits he’s in danger of losing Man Utd job with Red Devils going BACKWARDS since sacking Erik ten Hag

RUBEN AMORIM knows that Manchester United’s fans are “tired” of the current state of their club. And the new manager accepts he will be in danger of losing his job, like any other manager, if results do not improve. Amorim has only been at Old Trafford a month but the 2-0 Boxing Day loss at Wolves was his fifth loss in seven games, and he is now preparing for Monday’s tricky visit of in-form Newcastle.

United have already lost half of Amorim’s first 10 games – with predecessor Erik ten Hag losing just two of his final 10 at the helm. The Dutchman did win just three of those matches compared to Amorim's four. But the Red Devils have scored less with their new boss too, netting just 17 goals in that time compared to 18 strikes under Ten Hag.

United have also shipped 17 goals under Amorim, with Ten Hag keeping a meaner defence with just 11 conceded. Amorim, whose former Sporting Lisbon side netted 19 times in his final five games there, is contracted until the summer of 2027 and has maintained that is long enough time for him to be judged.
But Amorim knows he might not get that long if he is unable to dig the club out of this terrible mess, with the 39-year-old realising that the huge turnaround which is needed has to start soon. United paid Amorim’s £8.3million buy-out clause to get him out of Sporting Lisbon although in recent weeks, the team has got worse.
