If you ask me, i think is time to sack Ruben Amorim, he clearly doesnt find the key to make this Manchester big again and not only that he is making them play even worst than before which is an incredible milestone because they were already bad when he arrives.

Who can he still be in the coach position when he only won 8 games since november?

This made me laugh. It was because of the poor performance of the former coach Erik Ten Hag made the management to brought Ruben Amorim and since when this coach came Manchester United performance has been on the worst side. On my own observation, the main problem of this club has not be identified by the management.
Some of the fans are agitating that the club should be sold off or let the club be scrapped to form new beginning.

[SatoPrincess]

I don't know why most football fan are making it looks like Manchester city are terribly bàd, the season is just starting and if you do your findings about Manchester city in the past five seasons, they mostly don't start the season strongly, but during the cause of the season, once they have found their rythme like after ten games that's when you are going to know that Manchester city is not in for a play or not a team that should be underrated.
So as it stands now, I will not look down on Manchester city like a weak side till after ten games, because this was how they have performed in the early stage of the season but they still come back and win the league title from the graps of arsenal, so right now, I still sees them as a title contenders, but if they can't accumulate up to 20 points in the next 10 games, that's when I will be ruling them out from the title race, not now that almost all teams are still struggling to find their form.

They are not terribly bad per say but compared to the City people know from four and five years back you can use the world terrible to describe their form because you just can’t compare. There is a huge gap with these years although there are hopes they can be better with the signings they made in the summer. It’s a matter of time for all new signings to blend in completely and raise the level of the team’s performance.

In fact, the best they can do is sell the club and give it to someone who can manage it more appropriately and try to make money from the sales but find a manager who can revive the fortunes of this club, since the manager changed the situation has not improved, in fact it seems to have worsened.

I have always been saying this that the current Manchester United squad is good and able to compete in this season's English Premier League. If Manchester United continue to struggle this way we should all agree that it is the mentality and the formation of the coach that is causing the inconsistency. It will be better for Manchester United to dismiss Amorim before it is too late to do so, that man is so stubborn.
I have watched him so many times during interviews and the pre-match and postmatch reviews and the guy does not want to take anybody'anybody's suggestion and he has refused to acknowledge that English Premier League is quite higher from where he was coming from. Because you performed well in the Sporting Lisbon does not mean that you are able to face the English Premier League challenges. If you add to succeed in the English Premier League, you need to be dynamic and be also willing to accept criticism and suggestions.

But before then Manchester United should start looking for an alternative

It's common for teams to go through periods of transition, and City's recent signings could be a key factor in their potential resurgence.

I think you acknowledge that City's current form isn't terrible, but it's not up to their usual standards from a few years ago, pulse there's a noticeable difference in the team's performance compared to their dominant years optimistic about the team's potential with the new signings from the summer transfer window, i also believe it will take time for the new players to integrate and elevate the team's performance.

[pawel7777]

I said before that the manager of the losing side of the Manchester derby will be in trouble. After the 3-0 defeat, speculation about the possibility of Amorim getting sacked soon are mounting in the media. Apparently the club still have some patience left, despite the worst start of the season in 33 years.
Looks like the "Alex Ferguson curse" might be real. After departure of Ferguson, United can't find a manager that would set the team right. Everyone fail the task, to the point that it's starting to look like United would just have to accept the faith of being a mediocre Premier League team and forget about the top.
Even if they decide to replace Amorim with someone else, I have doubts if they will be able to get any of the top names signing up the contract.

As for Man City, good performance defensively, United struggled to create any real danger, despite dominating slightly in ball posession and the total number of shots on goal. That's a big win for Guardiola and his team after 2 straight losses to Tottenham and Brighton. They are going to need the confidence ahead of the games against Napoli and then Arsenal.

[Tmoonz]

Last weekend games are some worth good and disappointing and at same time, my major concern is Liverpool, like those guys are not really doing what they are expected to do with the kind of money spent in the transfer market and they kind of quality players they've got also, they're not really impressive with their performance, I think they really have to step up their game if they're to win the English premier League title this season, and for Manchester United I think the problem of that team has gone beyond repair because we don't really know whom to blame in that team, I won't mention the players, but the manager and the management, they should better work on that team.

[Adbitco]

In fact, the best they can do is sell the club and give it to someone who can manage it more appropriately and try to make money from the sales but find a manager who can revive the fortunes of this club, since the manager changed the situation has not improved, in fact it seems to have worsened.

I think that even the management of Manchester United is clueless and doesn't know what to do anymore because for ages now, they have still not even tried to get it right. They should know when to stop and accept that they can't do anything worthy anymore in the club and look for a way to sell it to someone that's capable of managing and bringing the club back to it's glory days because Manchester United is now turning to a club of mockery.

They have tried to put more belief and time to latest head coaches from Solskajer, Ten Hag and now perhaps Ruben Amorim but results so far are not good. Time flies fast and Bruno Fernandez from a biggest hope in Solskajer era now already is an old player and his time in Old Trafford is counting down. Ruben Amorim has to build up Manchester United squad with new players and this will bring Manchester United to a new uncertain era. With their performances so far, I don't know how long Ruben Amorim will be the head coach there as if he can not improve results in coming match, there is high probability of a bad ending for him in the club.

They are not terribly bad per say but compared to the City people know from four and five years back you can use the world terrible to describe their form because you just can’t compare. There is a huge gap with these years although there are hopes they can be better with the signings they made in the summer. It’s a matter of time for all new signings to blend in completely and raise the level of the team’s performance.

Manchester City have their own crisis since the last season but they have been far better than Manchester United. How they beat Manchester City big in a latest Manchester derby match shows big difference in quality between two Manchester clubs. They might struggle to win Premier League title but a position in top four is quite sure and they won't fall to relegation fight like Manchester United.

It's not the manager. I can also agree that this has got to do with some mentality shit within the players. I also agree that we don't have combative midfielders who cam fight cover grass around the pitch. It's time to be ruthless with thier incoming and let players like Casemiro and Ugarte leave. Bruno Fernandez is also not discipline enough defensively, it's time to take him close to goal against Chelsea!

Well, I think they should give him till the end of season, after then if nothing improves then it normal to sack him, sometimes I just begin to wonder if he was the one actually doing well at sporting or it was the system thhayvwas good already at sporting. At Manchester United we are not even seeing a glimpse of how is team was working at sporting, well after he makes a few signing in January and nothing improves then he should be sacked.

It always the managers fault, I bet you a new manager would walk in into this Manchester United and still use this same team to challenge for top 6. There are quality players in Manchester United it just the way he set them up, they don’t even look motivated. I believe most players are finding this formation very hard. Regardless he just need to fix his team, because very soon his job will be on the line.

The most important thing in football is getting results, and that’ is what is mostly important, nobody will criticize your performance when you’re winning, but fans and pundits will criticize you when you’re loosing games, there are new players in the teams, and the players are trying to adapt to each other, what I really love about this Liverpool team is their mentality to keep going and pushing until the very last minutes, Liverpool are playing like a true champion that they are, when the game is going badly and it’s hard you’ll have to find a way to win games, and that’s what Liverpool are doing, but I know Liverpool will improve with their performance once the team clicks with the new players completely adapted, But I’m surprised people are saying Liverpool aren’t having a good performance but Arsenal that’s is their closest rivals couldn’t beat them, I’m impressed with Liverpool performance and right now we’re yet to see Alexander Isak, If it was Arsenal they would’ve lost or draw this games that Liverpool keep winning late minutes because they don’t have that winning mentality. When you said Liverpool aren’t winning like they are supposed to do after spending money in the transfer window, if I may ask is football not about winning games, do you prefer to play well and loose ? And how is Liverpool not performing well ? Because Liverpool are putting in a good performance, Don’t you realize it’s difficult to win a low block team like Burnley ? Football is tactical so you should know. All the money spent is paying off they’re all playing good. And it’s just four games to the season and you’re disappointed.

[Nightwatchmare]

Manchester United have been really struggling for a long time and haven't recovered even this season, so it is possible for Manchester City to outshine Manchester United. Even if Manchester City's performance is not what it used to be, there are still some teams they are better than, but it won't be easy for them to challenge the top teams.

Even with Amorim, Manchester United still can't climb out of their slump. Even after the arrival of Sesko and other top players. Yes, the tactical system implemented by Amorim hasn't worked that well, or perhaps it's simply not effective enough for Manchester United.

Because, since November of last year, Amorim has only won eight matches, with more losses or draws. It's unclear when this will end.

Source: Ruben Amorim only won 8 GAMES

I can't say what the problem is right now. Manchester United has struggled far too long and I think there could be something more to this. How can Ruben Amorim come from winning his last 11 games in Sporting to winning only about 8 league games in the last 10 months. Sometimes ago Peter Drury once said that match is like Monthly period, they win only once in a month. Manchester city still humiliated Manchester United again with such 3 : 0 margin. I don't know why everyone thought that Manchester United could win the game before the kickoff. Manchester city loosing form does not also imply they can loose to Manchester United in their home soil, at least not in this period.

When I watched Manchester United's first match against Arsenal this season, I was impressed by the way Manchester United played against Arsenal, and I believed Manchester United's performance had improved and they would win more of their matches this season, but i am surprised that Manchester United is still struggling in the premier league this season. Despite Manchester United playing against Manchester City on their home soil, Manchester United was supposed to earn a point against Manchester City because Manchester City weren't at their best, but it clear to me now that any team struggling in the premier league, once they meet Manchester United, the team will pick form.

For a team like Liverpool to fail to break through the defense of Burnley is really questionable, and yes Liverpool managed to win the game courtesy of a Hannibal’s hand ball inside Burnleys 18 yard box, which led to Mo Salah converting the resulting penalty kick in the last minute of the game. And yes, questions will be raised concerning Liverpools Attacking Midfielder £117m signing Florian Wirtz who has now started and played all four of Liverpools premier league matches without registering a single assist talk more of scoring a goal. It’s really a thing for Liverpool and Arne slot to worry about. How long will he take to adapt fully in the premier league knowing fully well that he came in with a huge amount of money and should hit the ground running by providing assists and making moves to break into team’s defense if the opposition teams are really playing defensively. The game Liverpool won Against Arsenal was from a set piece if not it would have ended in deadlock without Liverpool also breaking through the opposition defense lines. Arsenal on the other hand were able to break through the defense of Nottingham Forest during the weekend and put 3 goals past Nottingham Forest. Well I’m saying this because Liverpool will not always continue to be Lucky to win penalties or score on set pieces and I’m sure they wouldn’t want to depend on that before they can win games.

Manchester City is trying as much as possible to come back to their old form but currently they are trying but one can't say that they are back to their old form, just because they won Manchester United with three goals does not mean that they are actually back to form, currently Manchester United is not informed and so any team that takes that advantage can possibly win them very well and that is what Manchester city did, Manchester City really needs to improve more if they want to lift premier league title this season but I still don't think is possible this season.
Yes those new players that they signed really helped them a lot to improve in there form, I so much like their coach he's very focused and determine and he makes sure that his team always improve and come back whenever they are not doing well and he used all the tactics possible to make that happen.

[JiiBs]

It is true indeed that they need a way back to their formal glory and the way they played against Manchester United felt like one. This was a derby and there is a certain kind of feeling that comes with it, they used that to be more challenging towards their attack and got results. Only if they could build on that towards other teams in the league, Pep might yet get something out of this season, to be a league contender at the very least because, what they are right now isn’t it.

[Volgastallion]

Can you imagine being a Manchester United fan and have to walk the streetof the city in this moment? After so many years of glory now you are in your worst stage ever since the start of the Premier League in the 90'.

They need to clean all the club, from the top to the bottom, from management to players.

[SatoPrincess]

Everything that keeps happening around Manchester United and the bad results the team keeps getting shows how clueless Amorim has been and yet he goes on acting arrogant like he knows what he is doing. I’m sure Zirkzee will be reconsidering his decision to stay at Manchester United past the summer.

Well I’m saying this because Liverpool will not always continue to be Lucky to win penalties or score on set pieces and I’m sure they wouldn’t want to depend on that before they can win games.

I must say you watch football from a sentimental point of view, I’ve watched Liverpool games, and all I can see is a team that is performing at the highest levels and are playing like a true Premier League Champion, because Champions win games, and the Premier League table speaks for itself, And I don’t think you watch football and check the statistics of a football game, I’ve watched Liverpool games, against Bournemouth, Newcastle, Arsenal, Burnley, Liverpool have had good statistics games, statistically they have been better, and in football you can’t be lucky for four games, it obviously shows how good Liverpool is right now, football is played for 90 minutes and whichever time you score a goal doesn’t matter, if it’s easy Chelsea, Arsenal should be winning like Liverpool who knows how to win ugly because it’s a mentality and only Liverpool have that mentality right now, if it was an Arsenal or Chelsea facing a low block team like Burnley they will most likely drop a point, just like Chelsea did against Brentford, that is why Liverpool is miles above this teams.

Chelsea faced a low-block team which is Brentford and couldn’t even win the game, For your notice Nottingham Forest isn’t a low-block team, Arsenal tried playing a low block against Liverpool and they lost, because they were not ready to play, they came for a draw which is why they rely on set pieces, corners and throws which didn’t work for them and they lost and they obviously came for a draw, they didn’t even take the risk of trying to win the game sometimes I question Arsenal and Chelsea winning mentality, Arsenal only had one short on target against Liverpool, Burnley had no shot on target against Liverpool, If you watched this games very well without sentiment, Liverpool have been the only one trying to play football, and they were rewarded by their good performances by taking 3 points.

Talking about Florian Wirtz who you said haven’t given an assist or a goal for four matches, well for your notice maybe you have forgotten that Cole Palmer who have been playing in the Premier League for years now, played for 10 months without scoring an open play goal or assist in the Premier League, so it wouldn’t be a new thing for Florian Wirtz, because Cole Palmer have worse more records in the Premier League than Cole Palmer, if Liverpool wanted Florian Wirtz to score so badly, they would’ve given him the penalty to play against Burnley.

And if Liverpool are winning by scoring a free kick, and penalties I thought that is part of football, and why did Arsenal not score with a free kick when they were given, if truly it’s easy to score a free kick or a penalty which have to do with Liverpool
Being lucky, there is no luck in football, your performance speaks for itself, and that is what Liverpool have achieved in the last four games, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but your opinions doesn’t really matter. Because the Premier League Table shows the difference between Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool.
