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.
