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 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.”
