Football management is ultimately a numbers game and none of them are adding up for Ruben Amorim at Manchester United .
It's a simple equation: Win more games than you lose, score more goals than you concede, and get more decisions right than you get wrong. But Amorim is failing in each of those principles right now, perhaps because he still hasn't recognized that his preferred 3-4-3 formation is only causing trouble for his struggling team.
The line from United right now is that the former Sporting CP coach still has the backing of his bosses and that it is simply a case of weathering the storm until new signings settle in and confidence returns to the squad.
But every manager is judged on results, and Amorim will be no different. Sooner or later, just as it did for predecessors Er
