Man United Seeks First Consecutive Premier League Wins Amid Performance Struggles

Manchester United, struggling with poor performance and a low league position, are reportedly considering a managerial change and have been linked with Graham Potter despite his 24% win rate at West Ham United, a move seen as unlikely to improve their fortunes. Current manager Ruben Amorim, who has faced criticism due to the team's underwhelming results including a bottom-half finish last season and continued poor away form, is under pressure to deliver after significant investment in new players. United's recent matches, such as their loss to Brentford where defensive errors and penalty misses were costly, highlight ongoing issues in both defense and finishing despite leading the league in shot attempts. Amorim has acknowledged that the squad is still recovering from last season's difficulties and emphasized the importance of achieving consecutive wins to change the team's mindset and environment. Statistically, while United have improved in offensive metrics like total expected goals, their finishing and defensive records remain concerns, with the team conceding eight goals and having the worst xG difference in Europe's top leagues. Upcoming fixtures, including the match against Brentford, are seen as crucial opportunities for the team to stabilize and start stringing together positive results under Amorim's leadership.
