United’s newest setback got here at residence to Newcastle United on Monday evening, with Eddie Howe’s facet comfortably swatting apart Amorim’s males by two targets to nil at Previous Trafford.
The Portuguese coach is adamant he shall be sticking together with his favoured system that doesn’t appear to be suiting the present crop of gamers at his disposal after three consecutive league defeats with out scoring a aim.
As reported by The Mirror, former Premier League participant, now pundit, Danny Murphy has given his view on Amorim’s begin to life in Manchester and says regardless of his spectacular off area manner, he bought it badly unsuitable in opposition to Newcastle.
Methods apart, beginning Christian Eriksen alongside Casemiro in the course of the park drew main criticism from many quarters with the Magpies midfield working over the growing older duo.
