Ruben Amorim at Manchester United: 28 points in 29 games, same record as two-time relegated Premier League boss | Football News
Manchester United’s turbulent Premier League form under Ruben Amorim shows little sign of easing, with Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Fulham leaving them winless this season and stuck with a record that now invites uncomfortable comparisons.Amorim’s Premier League record makes for grim reading: just 7 wins in 29 games, giving him a win rate of 24.1%. That figure is identical to Neil Warnock’s top-flight record, 27 victories in 112 matches, a manager twice relegated from the Premier League. For a club of Manchester United’s stature, being statistically aligned with such a company highlights the depth of their current struggles.At Craven Cottage, Amorim’s side once again lacked the ruthless edge to turn dominance into victory. Bruno Fernandes squandered a golden chance in the first half, firing his penalty high into the stands after a VAR check deemed Calvin Bassey guilty of grappling Mason Mount. United did eventually go in front just after the hour mark, but it came via fortune rather than brilliance as Rodrigo Muniz deflected Leny Yoro’s header into his own net.Instead of pushing on, United retreated, and Fulham punished them. Substitute Emile Smith Rowe ghosted into the box unmarked to convert Alex Iwobi’s cross, ensuring the spoils were shared and Amorim left frustrated.“After our goal we only thought about the result,” admitted the United boss post-match. “We were okay until then, but not smart in that moment.”For all the money spent this summer, over £200 million on Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, United’s attack remains blunt. Sesko was again left on the bench, while Cunha and Mbeumo failed to deliver the spark expected from marquee signings.With last season’s 15th-placed finish already hanging over him, Amorim desperately needs results to shift the narrative. Instead, after 29 games, his numbers place him in company United fans would rather forget.
