Amorim struggles to win back Man United players after poor start to the season
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.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
