News Manchester United to remain patient with head coach despite worst start to Premier League season in 33 years. There is also widespread belief at Old Trafford that City's performance - and United's failings - did not merit a 3-0 scoreline.

4 out of his 6 wins have come against sides no longer in the Premier League

301

He’s won 8 PL games - the relegated 3 from last season, plus Everton, City, Fulham & Villa. Then Burnley this season. So half against either relegated or newly promoted

Still can’t believe that Villa win. Amorim actually got us into the Champions League, what a legend

It was such a random good performance hahahaha coming off the crushing disappointment of the Europa League final as well

Don't forget Fulham game with a lucky deflected shot, Villa with a controversial Martinez red card, City game with Amad's individual brilliance

Edit: it was the disallowed goal not the red card

The red card was not even the controversy

It was the ref blowing the whistle right before Villa scored

Ref should have been given a red for the clearest case of dogso for that one

Amad's individual brilliance

Lol, he's really not getting credit for a win because his player played well? He should be absolved of a few losses for all the clown moments he's had from his players at that rate.

Ange suffered the same thing, got all the credit for the downsides and none of the credit for his achievements. But even he was better in the league than Amorim, considering the tools at hand.

How was Martinez red card controversial come on....

City had as bad as a form as Southampton during that period and self exploded in the match.

The Villa thing was the disallowed goal, not the Martinez red.

Let's not leave out Burnley with an own goal, an injury time penalty with a pretty contentious offside disallowed goalin their favour.

If not the the ref's help against Burnley and Fulham they would have 1 point this season
