Amorim admits that he may still be dismissed. The next 4 games will determine the success or failure of this season! It may not be the most important thing for Liverpool

Ruben Amorim may be looking forward to Manchester United's first game back in the Premier League this weekend with optimism. Manchester United is about to usher in 4 important games, the first is an away game against Liverpool. But the BBC reported that this game may not be the most critical. The subsequent games will determine the direction of Manchester United this season, whether good or bad.

Before the international match, Manchester United defeated Sunderland 2-0 at home and performed one of the best performances during Amorim's coaching period. The result eased the pressure on the 40-year-old Portuguese. Subsequently, owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe publicly announced that he would give Amorim three years to prove his ability. Larjue also compared Amorim’s situation with Ferguson, Arteta and others, saying that it also took them a long time to achieve success.

However, just because an outstanding coach spends a long time proving himself does not mean that the coach will succeed if he gets enough time. Amorim knows that if the team cannot make significant improvements in performance and results, any promise made by Larjue will be just words and will have no effect. Even if he goes back on his promise and fires the coach the next day, it is completely legal. The match between Manchester United and Liverpool was the "death talisman" for all the coaches in the post-Fergo era.

Amorim said at the pre-match press conference for the away game against Liverpool: "Lajue sometimes sends me messages after the game, but you know, and both Lajue and I understand that football doesn't work like that. The most important thing is the next game. Regardless of whether the boss supports it or not, we can't control what will happen the next day. What's going on. Of course, it's comforting to hear that, and Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox keep telling me that."

The Manchester United coach added: "First of all, I can definitely feel this pressure, not just others say it, I can really feel it. Sometimes, I give myself. The pressure on myself and the entire team is too great. I know it will take some time to resolve this issue. It's great to hear that, and I think it helps our fans understand that the front office understands that winning takes time. But at the same time, I don't like this situation because I don't want such negativity to pervade the club. The team has to prove every week that we have what it takes to win. ”

The victory over Sunderland lifted Manchester United to 10th place in the standings. This is only the second time this season that the team has ranked in the top half of the standings after a round of games. Amorim is about to coach for a full year and has only won 10 games in 34 Premier League games. He has not won two consecutive games in the league.

The British media believes that this is Manchester United's best chance to win against Liverpool in 10 years. If they can defeat Liverpool on Sunday, it will naturally greatly boost the morale inside and outside the club. But even if they lose to Liverpool, the impact on Amorim may not be too great, as long as the score is not too outrageous. Because Manchester United has not won at Anfield since 2016, and the number of goals scored can be counted on one hand.

The real impact on Amorim’s coaching position may lie in the next games: against Brighton at home and away games against Nottingham Forest and Tottenham. If we can achieve good results and get enough points, Manchester United will have a chance to get back into the position of qualifying for the European competition.

It is said that the Manchester United board of directors and the locker room regard obtaining a spot in the European Cup as the established goal of this season, which can prove that the team has made progress.

But it was not easy against Brighton, Forest and Tottenham. They lost all the corresponding games in the past two seasons. Lost to Brighton at home and away to Forest and Tottenham Stadium. Among them, last season, three losses occurred under Amorim's coaching.

Interestingly, the away game against Liverpool in January this year was the only game in which Amorim scored points out of a potential 12 points. Manchester United drew 2-2 with their opponents, and the Red Devils even had a chance to take all 3 points if Maguire seizes the opportunity to score the ball in stoppage time.

Amorim commented at the time: "It's very obvious. When we focus, fight for every ball, take on huge pressure, and fight until we are exhausted after the game, we are a good team. If we can't always If we keep this state, we will lose the game."

But half a month later, when Manchester United faced Brighton at home, Andre Onana and his teammates made constant mistakes and the team suffered a 1-3 defeat, allowing the "Seagulls" to achieve three consecutive victories at Old Trafford.

After the game, Amorin was at a loss: "In the past 10 Premier League games, we have only won two. Imagine what this means to the fans and what it means to me. The new coach has lost more than the predecessor. I fully understand that this may be the worst team in Manchester United's history."

On April Fool's Day, April 1, Manchester United lost 0-1 to Nottingham Forest at the City Stadium. They lost to Forest away from home for the second consecutive season. Moreover, the old player Elanga, who was purged by ten Hag for 15 million pounds, ran 50 yards and scored the winning goal, which made things worse.

Manchester United suffered four defeats from Tottenham last season. The most fatal defeat was definitely the Europa League final. However, losing 0-1 to their opponents in an away game in February was also a big shame. It meant that Manchester United was double-killed by Tottenham for the first time in the 1989/90 season. But Amorim was unconvinced by the loss: "What's the difference between the two sides? Tottenham scored, but we didn't!"

Amorim will hope that the situation is much better this time and can continue to sit back and relax during next month's international match. "I remember the last time we were away to Liverpool, we performed very well and ended up in a draw. I was very frustrated after the game because we could have won that day." He said, "But it was just one game and we still need to prove that our performance has indeed improved. I think Manchester United has indeed improved, but all aspects of the game need to be better. So, this is another game that we have to win."
