Manchester United are facing a fight for Premier League survival after a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United. The defeat leaves them in 14th place, just seven points above the relegation zone.
Ruben Amorim said Manchester United are in a battle for Premier League survival after losing 2-0 to Newcastle on Monday to end 2024 14th in the table. United are seven points above the relegation zone, but are on the slide since Amorim took charge last month. Alexander Isak and Joelinton struck inside the first 19 minutes as United lost a third consecutive home league game since 1979. 'That is really clear so we have to fight,' said Amorim on United being dragged into a relegation battle .
'It is a really difficult moment, one of the more difficult moments in the history of Manchester United and we have to address it with honesty.Worse could be to come as United travel to runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday before facing Arsenal in the FA Cup third round. Amorim has come under criticism for refusing to budge from his 3-4-3 formation since joining from Sporting Lisbon, where he won two Portuguese league titles. The 39-year-old reacted to a disastrous start by replacing Joshua Zirkzee after just 33 minutes with Kobbie Mainoo.Amorim, though, was adamant that he will not change his ways, even if it ultimately costs him his job.'We've had four training (sessions) all together, I was (brought) here because of my idea and I will continue with my idea until the end.
