New season, same story: Man United still winless, Amorim defiant

Ruben Amorim has totaled just one point in Manchester United's first two Premier League games, raising increasing concerns among fans

After a defeat (1-0) against Arsenal in the first round of the Premier League, Ruben Amorim failed again and Manchester United drew 1-1 against Fulham in the second round of the competition. Due to the continuous poor results since his arrival at the Red Devils, the former Sporting coach has been accumulating critics and, after Andy Gray , it was the turn of the club legend, Wayne Rooney to show his discontent with the performances of the Portuguese coach.

"The coach has no excuse this season. He has to start getting results and he has to do it quickly. When we start getting into October, November, if the results don't change drastically, the pressure will start to build ", said Wayne Rooney on his BBC podcast.

When asked if the Portuguese coach is the right man for the Manchester United job, the former player was skeptical: "It's difficult and obviously, sitting here and saying yes... I don't think anyone can do that. I think even Ruben Amorim himself wouldn't say that, considering what we've seen since he took over ".

Wayne Rooney: "I think we made good signings during the summer"

Next, Wayne Rooney cast doubt on Amorim's long-term future at Manchester United : "I think we made good signings during the summer, I still want to see two or three more players. But yes, it's difficult to say 'This will be our coach for the next five years', considering what we've seen ".

To conclude, the former Manchester United captain admitted that it's still early to draw conclusions about the new season: "Maybe we're rushing to judgment because Manchester United gets a lot of media attention, we've only played two games this season. The sign of concern is that we're seeing things we saw last season ".
