Man United Boss Amorim Defiant After 3-0 Derby Thrashing by City

Ruben Amorim holds firm to his tactical approach despite Manchester United securing only four points in four Premier League games and suffering a 3-0 derby defeat.

  • Manchester United lost 3-0 to Manchester City in the derby at Etihad Stadium on Sunday, with Phil Foden and Erling Haaland scoring key goals.
  • The loss came amid a string of disappointing performances under manager Ruben Amorim, who took over from Erik ten Hag in November and now faces mounting scrutiny after securing just eight victories in 31 league appearances.
  • Amorim defended his 3-4-3 tactical system, refusing to change his philosophy despite criticism, insisting the club must 'change the man' if they lose faith in his approach.
  • Amorim acknowledged that although the team's performance has improved, the outcomes have not yet reflected this progress, taking full responsibility for the situation and expressing acceptance of the blame.
  • The loss highlights ongoing struggles with scoring and form, as United have managed only one goal from open play in six hours of league football, suggesting challenges ahead for Amorim's tenure.
