Amorim Faces Crisis as United Slump to 15th

Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is under increasing pressure as the club sits 15th in the Premier League after a 4-3 defeat to Brentford, extending their winless league streak to six matches. Amorim rotated his squad for the Brentford fixture, prioritizing the Europa League semi-final second leg against Athletic Bilbao as the main chance to rescue their season and qualify for the Champions League. Defensive woes deepened with Matthijs de Ligt's injury, compounded by the impending departures of Victor Lindelof and Jonny Evans and Lisandro Martinez's long-term absence. United fielded one of their youngest-ever Premier League lineups, underscoring both the squad's injury crisis and a strategy focused on youth. Despite the setbacks, Amorim expressed confidence in his team's improving performances and emphasized the responsibility to succeed in Europe. He also dismissed speculation linking him to the Liverpool job, reaffirming his commitment to Manchester United.
