In the 85th minute of the "Derby" battle, Manchester United, who was 0-3, did not improve at all. The broadcast footage pointed at the away team stands at the Etihad Stadium, capturing the backs of many "Red Devils" fans leaving the court early. Gary Neville, a famous team player who serves as a guest commentator for British TV, said disappointedly: "I would be angry when I saw Manchester United lose such a game, but now I have no feeling, which is really worse. This game is simply useless."

only scored 4 points in the first four rounds, losing to the same city opponent, and invested more than 200 million pounds in the transfer market this summer, and suffered the worst start in the Premier League since the 1992-1993 season.

Manchester United official website reported that Amorin was very upset about the team's three goals lost after the game, saying that this could be avoided.

"At some moments, we played the style of a strong team. If you carefully study 3 goals, you will find that they are actually avoidable." Coach Amorin said after the game that the team has the opportunity to change the results of the game in many recent games, but the efficiency in front of the goal is relatively low.

After this game, Manchester United scored exactly 31 points in 31 games coached by Amorin, and the winning rate of the "Red Devils" during this period was only 36.17%. According to statistics from British media, this winning rate temporarily made Amorin the Manchester United coach with the lowest winning rate since World War II.

For such a sluggish performance, Amorin took the initiative to take responsibility. He said: "I haven't seen anyone not giving their all. Everyone is trying their best on the court, and the responsibility is all on me. I am occasionally disappointed because I think the team can run a little more, but I don't feel this way today. This is my fault and has nothing to do with the players."

Manchester United legend Keane also pointed the finger at Amorin. He believes that the Portuguese coach is too stubborn and lacks flexibility in tactics, and even worried that the players have lost their trust in the head coach. "Although the coach said 'we are moving in the right direction', he has poor record and has been defeated by strong teams continuously. Some adjustments he made are like 'rotting on the spot'..."

More dangerous things, Manchester United will face Chelsea, which won the Club World Cup championship this summer in the next round of the game. Many media and fans predict that if the team makes any mistakes, Amorin's coaching position may be in danger.
