City defeat: Manchester United put Ruben Amorim among the worst ever | OneFootball

After achieving the first official victory of this season against Burnley, Ruben Amorim returned to defeats, after losing 3-0 to Manchester City. If we count the current record of Manchester United since the Portuguese coach took over in 2024/2025, the red devils are the team that has scored the fewest points since the last half of the previous edition of the Premier League.

This statistic excludes the teams that were relegated from the Premier League to the Championship last season, as well as those that made the reverse journey, considering that these clubs have fewer games than the remaining 17 clubs that stayed in the competition. In addition, this is the worst start to the season for Manchester United since the 1992/1993 season, when the club was under the command of Alex Ferguson.

Ruben Amorim was hired by Manchester United in November 2024, making his debut in the 12th round of the Premier League with a draw against Ipswich. In the following 26 rounds of that season, the red devils only scored 27 points. This season, with no signs of improvement, the Manchester emblem has only four points in four games, in a record of one win, one draw, and two losses.

Even after the defeat and the continuous poor results, Ruben Amorim emphasized that he will not change his game philosophy and goes further, sending a message to the club owners, INEOS, after being confronted by journalists with the 8 wins in 31 Premier League games.

"This is not a record that should be held at Manchester United. There are many things that you don't know that have happened in the last few months. I accept that. But I won't change. When I want to change my philosophy, I change. Otherwise, perhaps, they need to change the coach. I will play with my style until I understand that I should change", Amorim stated.
