The young coach admitted the dilemma, Manchester United hopes to rebound at home

Manchester United coach Ruben Amorin sent a brief and apologetic message to fans in the pre-match show against Burnley. After a humiliating defeat by lower-level team Greensby in the Midweek League Cup, Amorin admitted that the team was experiencing a crisis early in the season. He said: "I can only apologize to the fans. The team that won last night performed better, and each of us must do better. Today, we must show strength from the beginning. We must walk on the court and show what we deserve, because the only way to solve all this is to win." The Portuguese young coach said this after losing 11-12 to Greensby in the team's penalty shootout, which left Manchester United only with the Premier League and the FA Cup to compete for this season. Previously, Manchester United's start in the league did not go smoothly, setting the 15th worst place in the Premier League history last season, losing 0-1 to Arsenal in the first round of the season, and then drew 1-1 with Fulham away. If the league cannot win again, the team's crisis will further intensify. After the game, Amorin admitted that the pressure was huge and even wanted to retreat for a while, but he emphasized that he would persevere.

Amorin's recent performance has attracted much attention. After the game, he showed a "torture" emotion, admitting that "I just want to apologize to our fans... When everything in the club is so important, everything happens is a club's problem, and we should do better." He even revealed that the pressure made him start to question himself, "Sometimes I want to give up. Sometimes I want to stay here for 20 years." After being eliminated from the League Cup, former Manchester United captain Rooney also expressed his views on Amorin's situation, believing that he was on the verge of "collapse." "Something is not right," Rooney said. "The coach's evaluation of the players after the game is very harsh... When you can't win the ball, it starts to affect you. It seems that this has reached his collapse point." In addition to the pressure of performance, the team is not peaceful. Midfielder Kobe Minu proposed to leave the team on loan this week, but was stopped by Amorin, who insisted that "we need Kobe, he must fight for his position." According to the Daily Mail, Amorin will hold talks with Manchester United executives on the upcoming international match day.

Glinsby's defeat has sparked strong responses among the media and fans. Amorin admitted after the game that “something has to change – you can’t replace 22 players again.” The 40-year-old coach has won just seven of his 29 league games since taking office last November. He arrived at the Carrington base at 7 a.m. Thursday to prepare for the match against Burnley. Although Manchester United insists that there is currently no plan to change the head coach, their determination will be severely tested if they lose to Burnley. Manchester United's sluggish performance this season and Amorin's struggles in front of the media have made the outside world full of doubts about the team's future. At the data level, there is a certain gap between Manchester United's expected goals (xG) this season and the actual goals, and the offensive efficiency needs to be improved. At the same time, the team's compression intensity (PPDA) on the defensive end also failed to meet expectations and was easily broken through by opponents. This game against Burnley is undoubtedly a key battle for Amorin and his subordinate Manchester United to get out of the predicament.
