Manchester United Endure Third Premier League Defeat Under Ruben Amorim

Manchester United suffered a 3-1 defeat to Brentford, marking their third league loss of the season and intensifying pressure on manager Ruben Amorim. Amorim criticized his team for lacking control, composure, and character, noting that the players failed to execute training-ground instructions, particularly regarding defending quick long balls and set pieces. Despite some attacking substitutions and brief moments of fight reminiscent of a recent win against Chelsea, United played into Brentford's hands by adapting to their style instead of imposing their own game. Key moments, including Bruno Fernandes' missed penalty and a contentious non-red card for Brentford's Nathan Collins, went against United, further complicating their efforts to settle the match. Amorim emphasized his focus on winning the next game to create momentum rather than protecting players or himself, as the team struggles to find consistency under his leadership. Though the club's management has not yet discussed his resignation, fan and expert criticism continues amid a disappointing record of 9 wins and 17 losses in 33 league matches under Amorim.
