Should Manchester United sack Ruben Amorim after Brentford defeat? | OneFootball

Manchester United fell to a humiliating 3-1 Premier League defeat to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday.

Igor Thiago scored twice inside the first minutes, but Benjamin Sesko pulled one back with his first goal for United.

Bruno Fernandes squandered a scoring chance from the penalty spot before Mathias Jensen struck deep in stoppage time to wrap up the game.

The result put manager Ruben Amorim under even more pressure.

United spent over £200 million to improve the squad this summer, but Amorim has overseen a disastrous start to the new season.

The Red Devils are 14th in the Premier League table with just seven points.

Should United dismiss Amorim?

Since taking over from Erik ten Hag in November last year, Amorim has recorded just nine victories in 33 league matches.

Despite clear evidence that his system is not working, the former Sporting CP boss refuses to adapt or change his tactics. His team selections have also raised concerns.

Senne Lammens is yet to play a game despite Altay Bayindir’s struggles in goal.

Kobbie Mainoo was one of the top performers during Ten Hag’s reign, but his role has been reduced under Amorim. The youngster hasn’t started a top-flight game this season.

Fernandes is regarded as one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League, but he is playing in one of the two deeper midfield roles.

He missed his penalty against Brentford, won zero aerial duels and lost possession of the ball on 18 occasions.

United have consistently sacked managers since Sir Alex’s departure in 2013, and dismissing Amorim will not solve the club’s problems.

However, there are no signs of improvement despite significant summer investments, and the club may be forced to act.
