Manchester United Faces Performance Crisis Under Ruben Amorim Amid £800m Spending

News summary

Manchester United's poor performance under manager Ruben Amorim has intensified scrutiny, with the team struggling early in the 2025 season and Amorim acknowledging the need for immediate improvement to maintain support from ownership. Despite winning only nine of 33 Premier League matches and facing criticism, Amorim insists that the team's 3-4-3 system isn't to blame for their struggles, attributing failures instead to inconsistent effort and small details. The squad's underperformance extends to costly transfer signings like Casemiro and Antony, whose high fees have not translated into success, with Antony being loaned out after a disappointing stint. The club's tactical challenges are highlighted by the persistent use of wing-backs in roles unsuited to players' natural positions, limiting attacking contributions and goal production. Veteran insiders and former players have publicly questioned Amorim's approach, reflecting broader concerns about the club's direction following a historically poor prior season. While the club has not lined up a replacement, the pressure mounts for a turnaround as Manchester United faces a critical juncture in restoring its competitive stature.
