Amorim’s Disappointing Start Places Manchester United in Historic Low

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim

Key Takeaways:

  • Ruben Amorim holds the club’s lowest managerial success rate since World War II at 36.17%
  • Manchester United has not lifted the Premier League trophy in the past 12 years
  • After four rounds of the current season, United occupies 14th place with only four points and a 4-7 goal difference

Underwhelming Premier League Campaign Continues

Manchester United supporters have witnessed another difficult beginning to the season, as the club remains distant from title contention twelve years after their last Premier League triumph. Promised revival under Ruben Amorim has yet to materialise, with expectations unmet and results falling short of the club’s storied standards.

Statistical Struggles in Early Season

With four games played in the new campaign, United find themselves in 14th position, having accumulated just four points from a possible twelve. The side’s attacking and defensive issues are evident, as reflected in their negative goal difference, having scored 4 and conceded 7. These numbers indicate substantial challenges across both ends of the pitch.

Historic Low Managerial Success Rate

Ruben Amorim currently posts the lowest managerial points success rate for Manchester United since the end of World War II, gathering only 36.17% of the available points since his appointment. This figure is lower than that of Wilf McGuinness, who held the previous post-war low while managing United during the 1969/70 season.

The Premier League’s Weakest Since November

Since Amorim assumed the managerial position in November last year, the Red Devils have performed as statistically the weakest side in the Premier League. The club and its supporters will be seeking answers, as continued underperformance threatens to extend their prolonged wait for silverware.
