Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim admits he cannot hide from his dire record and it is ‘normal’ that Old Trafford legends criticise him.
On Tuesday, United’s record goalscorer Wayne Rooney told his BBC podcast “the soul has gone” from his old club.
Amorim has won just 18 matches of his 49 games in charge, including nine out of 33 in the Premier League, where he has yet to win two successive matches.
Although senior Old Trafford sources are adamant Sir Jim Ratcliffe remains supportive of Amorim, failure to beat newly promoted Sunderland on Saturday will bring a fresh round of speculation over his future heading into another two-week international break.
“It is normal,” said the Portuguese, when asked about Rooney’s comments. “You can’t run away from the results.
“Then you have the baggage from last season, [although] last season for me doesn’t matter.”
United’s supporters remained behind Amorim following last season’s dismal fare, when they finished 15th in the table – their worst performance since the 1973-74 relegation campaign – and were beaten in the Europa League final, in the belief and hope this season would be substantially better.
Amorim assured fans the situation would improve because he had more time to work with his players without the midweek distraction of European football.
That is not how the first six games have materialised as United have suffered three defeats already and find themselves 14th in the table.
When asked what assurances he could offer supporters that the situation will improve, Amorim added: “It’s not the time to say, it is the time to show.

Princess Andre stunned at the VIP launch night of Thorpe Park’s Fright Nights on Thursday as continues to pave her own career in the spotlight.
The 18-year-old, whose parents are Peter Andre and Katie Price, has been a model and influencer for a couple of years now – and she recently landed her own ITV2 reality show, The Princess Diaries, which followed her rise to fame that even included launching her own makeup range.
Now she regularly attends showbiz events by herself – and this week was no exception. The teenager rocked a Y2K-inspired look as she showed off her tanned midriff in a white tank top and camouflage combat trousers that showed her Calvin Klein underwear poking out the top. She completed her look with white Nike trainers, a white puffer jacket and a cross body Louis Vuitton handbag.
Her outing came as her mum Katie faced a backlash over her ‘concerning’ behaviour on stage with best pal Kerry Katona. The former glamour model, 47, and Kerry, 45, are currently touring the UK with their stage show and have faced hiccups on their tour so far – with the Atomic Kitten star even walking off stage in the middle of a show at one point.

Katie, who has been declared bankrupt twice, was over two hours late to one show – with Kerry facing the audience solo. An Evening with Katie Price & Kerry Katona has even seen police called over rowdy fans who were ordered to leave. And Katie was reportedly “booted” out of her hotel during another stop off. She has also drawn criticism for vaping on stage, when smoking or vaping is banned in all venues.
Their latest show took them to Harpenden in Hertfordshire, where Katie’s kids Junior, 20, and Princess joined the audience, along with Kerry’s daughter Heidi Croft, who is also 18, the same age as Princess.
A source suggested having her children at the show made Katie stressed. “She hid behind a cushion, vaping with stress because her children were there which meant she couldn’t host the show properly,” they said. They added that Kerry “carried the show” with “crass humour”, while “Katie looked and acted bored and uninterested the whole way through”.
Another source said fans were calling for refunds at a show where Katie was reportedly only on stage only 35 minutes. But the show’s representatives denied that this has happened for any show on the tour.
Hitting back at the claims having her kids in the audience caused her to have a ‘meltdown’, Katie’s representative told the Daily Mail: “Katie and Kerry’s children have been at many nights of the tour. There is no stress to Katie or anyone else as a result of this.
“The show is different every night, irrespective of their children being present. I watch the show remotely every night when I am not there in person. The performance in question was extremely well received by the audience. Katie was not bored or uninterested – she’s just extremely laid back as a person.”
Katie has been making fans worried outside of the tour too, as she had to go to hospital for tests after losing a drastic amount of weight. Her boyfriend JJ Slater reportedly is worried she’s “running herself into the ground”.
A source told Mirror: “JJ and Katie’s family think she is putting way too much pressure on herself. She’s been constantly on the move with tour shows, but isn’t right mentally or physically – something she knows deep down. JJ is terrified of her losing any more weight. It’s not an easy thing to sit back and watch your partner running themselves into the ground health-wise.”
Katie revealed recently she doesn’t know why she’s losing weight and has been to see doctors about it. Opening up about it, she told fans: “The reason I’m going to the doctors is because I keep losing weight and I don’t know why. So that’s that.”

“It’s not just the weight loss – Katie isn’t sleeping either and is having more side effects than she might be letting on,” says our insider. “But she is determined to work through it. She feels like she’s flying high right now and doesn’t want to lose that.”

Taylor Swift has opened up about the “actual amnesia” fans experienced after attending her mega stadium shows during the Eras Tour. The singer addressed the phenemonenon with her husband to be Travis Kelce ahead of the release of her 12th album The Life of a Showgirl.
Ahead of her latest reinvention, Taylor reflected on her multi-year record-breaking Eras Tour.
After hearing some fans claim they ‘couldn’t remember a thing’ following her show, the Fate of Ophelia singer seemed happy that she was able to generate such a “genuine” response.
“I think we did it. Nailed it. That’s genuine. I wasn’t even shooting for that goal when they’re like, ‘ I saw so many things and I experienced a state of euphoria that I now don’t remember what happened to me. ‘ I was like, oh my god”, Taylor said.
She added that she made the tour so high intensity for younger fans. “I wanted to show fans and especially younger fans, visuals and performance art that was important to me as a kid and inspired me to want to do this]be a singer]”.
Taylor said: “So wanted elements of musical theatre, Broadway, ballet, things you would see in an opera”. To which her fiance Travis responded: “Who thinks like this”?

His brother Jason Kelce added: “I just watched the whole tour. I thought it was amazing but I didn’t know all of this”. Taylor stated that she wanted the experience of “scrolling through an algorithm.”
“I wanted it to be references that I believed would be high concept, high value, and performed simultaneously.” However, I wanted to use rapid fire, the highest level of intensity.
Every 15 to 30 seconds, you’re seeing something new, and it feels like you’re scrolling through an algorithm. And so I thought, “Oh, I think we did it,” when I heard reports of people complaining about getting actual amnesia after the performances. “
Some Swifties who went on the Eras Tour claimed to be having “post-concert amnesia,” in which they struggled to recall specific show details. It is most likely caused by rapid sensory overload and intense emotional responses.
