Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is facing the wrath of fans and experts following the team’s lacklustre performance against Grimsby in the second round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. United suffered the humiliation of getting knocked out of the tournament by a team that plays in the fourth division in English football.

As the clouds of pessimism have replaced all the positive build-up to the season, Amorim is losing the trust of win-starved fans, and following the game against Grimsby, his woes have further intensified. Subsequently, a report is making the rounds in English media, stating that the INEOS Group has started to contemplate possible replacements for Amorim .

The manager did not avoid holding himself accountable for the disaster against Grimsby and stated that "something needs to change" after his team lost in the penalty shootout.

Former Premier League midfielder questions Amorim’s system

Paying heed to United’s poor start to the season under Amorim, former Premier League midfielder Danny Murphy has chimed in and advised Amorim to change his system, as the current one does not brings the best out of midfielders, and in turn, the reason behind United’s struggles.

“I think that squad is able to compete," Murphy told talkSPORT. I just think his system is the problem, I’ve said it from day one. I wouldn’t like playing that system as a midfielder, no chance. He’s warm and charismatic - you can’t help but like him."

“From a footballing perspective, that system - it’s not going to work. What midfielder at Manchester United has progressed in that system under him? They’ve all digressed. Every one of them has been hammered - and the reason is because if you play two in the middle of the park in any system, whether it be a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3, if you’ve only got two in the middle, you’re going to get overrun and look troubled,” he added.

Ruben Amorim is currently in a precarious spot. Taking the parameter of win percentage, he is statistically the worst manager in the history of Manchester United. However, he can still turn the tide and silence all the detractors. But for that to happen, he will have to take immediate measures and simmer down all the clamour by securing a win against Burnley on Saturday.
