Then a draw against Fulham, which they very much could have lost, it\u2019s two games without a win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust a few games into a new season, with a load of money spent and three new players up front, and there\u2019s been very few signs of improvement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they\u2019d lost to Fulham, the manager would be staring down the barrel. As it stands, they\u2019re already down the wrong end of the table, and all of that stuff can play on the minds of the players and the manager.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen, the pressure builds into the third game, the cup game where they couldn\u2019t really afford to lose and then they lose to a League Two club, which is humiliating.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir next game is Burnley at home, and God forbid they should lose that one, it would be a disaster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut because of the stakes, the pressure and the situation as a whole, it\u2019s not as easy as it should be and you wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see them drop points again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo the manager has to do something, not just to turn results around but for the morale as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause when you\u2019re losing games, you\u2019re in a rut and the pressure is building, it\u2019s a very, very difficult situation to pull yourselves out of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/ruben-amorim-sack-decision-explained-man-utd-grimsby-mediawatch\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mediawatch:\u00a0Ruben Amorim sack decision explained by what he told Man Utd players at Grimsby<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Man Utd have already drawn up plans to replace Ruben Amorim this season following their poor start to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":28725,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[23041,9,10,18,13,14,23042,6,794,19,17,11,12,15,16,20,5,795,5005,7,8],"class_list":{"0":"post-28724","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-andoni-iraola","9":"tag-breaking-news","10":"tag-breakingnews","11":"tag-eire","12":"tag-featured-news","13":"tag-featurednews","14":"tag-gareth-southgate","15":"tag-headlines","16":"tag-home-page","17":"tag-ie","18":"tag-ireland","19":"tag-latest-news","20":"tag-latestnews","21":"tag-main-news","22":"tag-mainnews","23":"tag-manchester-united","24":"tag-news","25":"tag-premier-league","26":"tag-ruben-amorim","27":"tag-top-stories","28":"tag-topstories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28724","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28724"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28724\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
