Chelsea Favored at Old Trafford Amid Rising Pressure on Man Utd Manager Ruben Amorim

Manchester United is under significant pressure as they prepare to face Chelsea at Old Trafford, with manager Ruben Amorim facing criticism for the club's poor start to the 2025-26 Premier League season. Despite calls for his dismissal, club legend Bryan Robson has urged the club to back Amorim for at least three years to build stability and improve the squad. United currently sit 14th in the league after losing two of their four matches and suffering a heavy 3-0 defeat to Manchester City, raising concerns about their performance and tactics. Chelsea, despite recent struggles including a Champions League loss, enter the match as favorites according to data models, although United remain unbeaten at home against Chelsea since 2013. Chelsea's manager Enzo Maresca praised Amorim as a "magnificent manager," acknowledging the challenges of a new project but expressing respect for his capabilities. The upcoming match is seen as crucial for Amorim and United to turn their season around amid growing pressure and scrutiny.
