*By Rajdeep Saha | Oct 03, 2025, 07:38 pm*
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has openly acknowledged his poor record with the club and described criticism from club legends as “normal.” This comes after Wayne Rooney, United’s all-time leading goalscorer, stated on his BBC podcast that “the soul has gone” from the club.
### Struggling Results Under Amorim
Since taking charge, Amorim’s United side have won only 18 out of 49 matches across all competitions. The disappointing form has left fans and pundits concerned about the direction of the club.
### Coach’s Reaction: “You Can’t Run Away from the Results”
Addressing Rooney’s comments during a recent press conference, Amorim responded candidly: “It is normal. You can’t run away from the results. Then you have the baggage from last season, [although] last season for me doesn’t matter.”
Last season, United finished in a disappointing 15th place and lost the Europa League final. Despite these setbacks, the club’s supporters have remained hopeful and patient with Amorim, expecting improvement this season.
### Season Outlook: “It’s Time to Show”
Amorim promised fans that things would get better as the new season progressed, especially with fewer midweek European matches to distract the squad. However, the campaign has started poorly. After six Premier League games, United sit 14th in the table, having secured just two wins, one draw, and suffered three defeats.
When asked what assurances he could give supporters, Amorim said, “It’s not the time to say, it is the time to show.”
### Current Season Snapshot
– Manchester United currently stand 14th in the Premier League after six rounds of matches.
– The team has yet to keep a clean sheet this campaign.
– Their most recent defeat came against Brentford last week, adding pressure on Amorim and his squad.
As the season unfolds, all eyes will be on Ruben Amorim to turn around Manchester United’s fortunes and silence the critics.
