Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim is under increasing pressure as questions grow over his tactics following the team’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad.

Reports suggest that some senior players are becoming frustrated with Amorim’s insistence on sticking to his preferred 3-4-3 formation, even when it doesn’t seem to suit the squad. The lack of flexibility has left parts of the dressing room confused, with a feeling that the manager is asking them to play a system they are not built for.

The former Sporting Lisbon coach, now 40, has managed just one win so far this season, a narrow victory over Burnley secured by a Bruno Fernandes penalty at Old Trafford. With results failing to improve and doubts growing inside the camp, Amorim faces a tough battle to hold on to the trust of his players and keep his job at Old Trafford.

Real Madrid player Vinícius Júnior has spoken about his contract and how things have been since discussions began.

He said “It’s gone very well, meeting the new coach and the new players and training very hard. Mourinho wants me to be as I’ve always been: happy, cheerful, and that I play my football.”

“We have to prepare physically so that during the season we have fewer injuries and we can count on everybody. Monday was a double session, Tuesday is one session. So let’s go. Today we did a bit of work in the gym and a short session to load our legs some more.”
