Ruben Amorim has failed to give Manchester United the ‘new manager bounce’ they were hoping for – and has instead created unwanted history.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 39-year-old<\/a> saw his side lose 2-0 at Wolves on Boxing Day to leave the Red Devils languishing in 14th spot after 18 matches.<\/p>\n

United<\/a> have now lost three consecutive matches in a row in all competitions in the past week.<\/p>\n

They were first dumped out of the Carabao Cup by Tottenham in a seven-goal thriller, before being humiliated at Old Trafford as Bournemouth eased to a 3-0 victory.<\/p>\n

And United’s defeat in the Midlands means that Amorim has now won just two out of his opening seven top-flight matches.<\/p>\n

His horror start has seen him lose four Premier League matches in the fewest amount of games, reaching the fourth defeat in just his seventh league match in charge – quicker than any United manager in Premier League history.<\/p>\n

Since replacing Erik ten Hag<\/a> in the dugout, Amorim has been beaten in five out of his ten matches in charge.<\/p>\n

Only Southampton – rooted to the bottom of the table with six points – have lost more games [six] among Premier League teams in all competitions than United.<\/p>\n

And speaking to talkSPORT reporter Joseph Shennan following the defeat at Molineux, Amorim declared that fans may have to get used to their dismal form continuing.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese boss insisted that it’s ‘tough’ to see how his side get out of their slump in the near future.<\/p>\n

Asked whether the United job is tougher than he had expected, Amorim replied: “No.<\/p>\n

“I said it to everybody, this will be a long journey, and this moment will be really tough.<\/p>\n

United boast a goal difference of minus three in their league matches under Amorim<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“And we are not near that moment [being back in form].<\/p>\n

“So we have to continue to improve in all aspects of the game.<\/p>\n

“We need to have time to train, and when you have these moments in a big club, it’s really hard to get out.<\/p>\n

“But we will continue to fight.”<\/p>\n

In what was a match to forget for United, they also saw Bruno Fernandes<\/a> sent off for a second yellow card.<\/p>\n

In doing so, Fernandes has become the first player since Nemanja Vidic in the 2008\/09 season to be shown a red card on three occasions.<\/p>\n

Fernandes was also given his marching orders in the 3-0 defeat to Spurs at the Theatre of Dreams in September.<\/p>\n

And in his next outing, Fernandes, who had never been sent off for United before the Tottenham clash, was dismissed against Porto in the Europa League.<\/p>\n

He will now miss United’s upcoming home clash against Newcastle, along with midfielder Manuel Ugarte, who picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Wolves.<\/p>\n

Commenting on Fernandes’ red card to talkSPORT, Amorim said: “The sending off changed the game.”<\/p>\n

Pressed for his view on the dismissal, he stated: “I don’t want to talk about that because I didn’t see it on TV.<\/p>\n

“I think the first yellow is harsh, and then in-play, he wants to reach the ball without wanting to make a foul or stop the play.<\/p>\n

“Then the other guy [Nelson Semedo] touched the ball and Bruno touched the opponent and Bruno was sent off.”<\/p>\n

Incredibly, United are now closer to the bottom three than they are to the top four.<\/p>\n

And with Newcastle, Liverpool and an FA Cup third round tie at Arsenal on the horizon, Amorim knows he must stop the rot – and fast.<\/p>\n
