New season, same story: Man United winless, Amorim has no excuses | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim has only managed to accumulate a total of one point in the first two games of Manchester United in the Premier League, raising increasing concerns among the fans

After a loss (1-0) against Arsenal in the first round of the Premier League, Ruben Amorim failed again and Manchester United drew against Fulham 1-1 in the second round of the competition. Due to the continuous poor results since he arrived at the red devils, the former Sporting coach has been accumulating critics and, after Andy Gray, it was the turn of the club legend, Wayne Rooney to express his discontent with the Portuguese's performances.

"The coach has no excuse this season. He has to start getting results and he has to do it quickly. When we get into October, November, if the results don't change drastically the pressure will start to be felt", began Wayne Rooney on his BBC podcast.

When asked if the Portuguese coach is the right man to lead Manchester United, the former player was skeptical: "It's difficult and obviously, sitting here and saying yes... I don't think anyone can do that. I think even Ruben Amorim himself wouldn't say that considering what we've seen since he took over".

Next, Wayne Rooney cast doubt on Amorim's long-term future with the red devils: "I think we made good signings during the summer, I still want to see two or three more players. But yes, it's hard to say 'This will be our coach for the next five years', considering what we've already seen".

To conclude, the former captain of the Manchester team admitted that it's still too early to draw conclusions for the new season: "Maybe we're rushing because Manchester United attracts a lot more media attention, we've only played two games this season. The worrying sign is that we're seeing things we saw during last season".
