Head coach of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim, retains the support of the board despite the humiliation of Wednesday evening Carabao Cup against Grimsby Town.
The Portuguese boss looked destroyed when his rotated side dropped to a defeat of the penalty shoot-out for the League two-outfit.
The result led to new speculation about the future of Amorim, but United does not intend to dismiss him for the Premier League collision on Saturday with Burnley.
Club figures, including co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe, are supposed to be steadfast.
They still believe that Amorim deserves more time to reverse the results, although patience will be tested as poor performance.
Is Ruben Amorim under pressure at Old Trafford?
The United season started on disappointing fashion.
Despite a promising display in the 1-0 defeat against Arsenal-where they created, but countless opportunities wasted the Reds a lead to pull 1-1 with Fulham and then they are ashamed of Grimsby.
Amorim apologized to the traveling fans after the exit of the cup and admitted that he “couldn’t explain” why his team performed so badly.
The head coach, an emotional character of nature, was described by insiders as more reflective on Thursday, although still frustrated.
The list of fixture does not affect him. After confronting Burnley this weekend, United travels to Manchester City as soon as the international break is over before he organizes Chelsea.
But United’s problems are not only due to Amorim. Defender Diogo Dalot admitted after the Grimsby defeat that “we were clearly not good enough” and that the team had not shown the right intensity.
The club is also open to the discharge of edge players such as Alejandro Garnaacho, Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia and Antony.
In the meantime, United is looking for a new keeper, to offer competition to Andre Onana, who has endured a bad night in Blundell Park.
Will United Amorim dismiss?
So, will United Amorim dismiss? For now the answer seems to be no.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the board want to stability and believe that the Portuguese coach should be given the opportunity to correct the course.
Amorim has only achieved seven victories in 29 Premier League matches since replacing Erik ten Hag last November.
However, he led United to the Europa League final last season, where they closely lost to Tottenham.
Sources suggest that the club will not make a decision of the knee, but the results in the coming weeks will be crucial.
Another series of poor form could see the pressure confirmation and the posture of the board.
Benfica monitors the situation of Ruben Amorim
Interesting is that Amorim may still have an escape route.
Reports in Portugal claim that the presidential candidate of Benfica Joao Noronha Lopes is considering bringing him back to Lisbon if he wins the October elections.
Amorim, who won three league titles as a player at Benfica, remains high in his home country despite his rocky spell at Old Trafford.
Lopes would be a great admirer, although the current boss Bruno Lage remains the leadership for the time being.
So, will United Amorim dismiss? The board it says that it is safe for the time being, but the pressure is rising.
With City and Chelsea, after Burnley, the results in the following three games were able to define his future in Manchester United.
