Manchester United Draws Fulham, Amorim Records 15 Premier League Losses Fastest

Manchester United, under manager Ruben Amorim, have struggled to secure wins in the Premier League, drawing 1-1 with Fulham and earning just one point from their first two games of the 2025/26 season. Despite taking the lead through a deflected header, United shifted to a defensive mindset that Amorim criticized, urging his players to focus on performance rather than merely protecting the result, a mentality he described as 'not smart enough.' The side missed a crucial penalty by Bruno Fernandes and were ultimately pegged back by an Emile Smith Rowe equalizer shortly after he came on as a substitute. Amorim's tenure has seen a poor win percentage of 24.1%, comparable to Neil Warnock's record, with United averaging just 0.97 points per game, a form likened to relegation-threatened teams. While there are signs of progress in attacking intensity and chances created, midfield weaknesses and defensive lapses continue to hamper the team's ability to convert performances into victories. The club's substantial summer spending on attacking players has not yet translated into consistent results, increasing pressure on Amorim to improve United's form.
