Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United Nightmare: 28 Points in 29 Games: Relegation Form at Old Trafford
Manchester United’s struggles under Ruben Amorim have hit a new low. After a 1-1 draw with Fulham, the Portuguese coach has now collected just 28 points from 29 Premier League matches. Yes, you read that right, more games than points. For a club of United’s size, that’s not just bad, that’s crisis territory.
A Record You Don’t Want on Your CV
Amorim’s record currently mirrors that of managers who have been relegated twice from the Premier League. That’s the company he’s keeping right now, not Ferguson, not Guardiola, but managers who couldn’t keep Norwich up. In fact, his points-per-game average sits at 0.97, which is basically survival mode form.
United’s Identity Crisis
The numbers are one thing, but the performances? Even worse. Despite spending heavily in the transfer market, United look disjointed, unimaginative, and often desperate. That desperation has led to bizarre tactical choices, like pushing Harry Maguire up front in crunch moments. Once a meme, now an actual game plan.
The Squad vs The System
On paper, United have one of the most expensive squads in Europe. But on the pitch? They look like a mid-table side that’s out of ideas. Amorim has struggled to stamp his philosophy, and the players don’t seem convinced either. Matches feel less like strategy and more like survival.

What Next for Amorim?
The pressure is piling up. Manchester United fans, used to a certain standard of football, are running out of patience. The club itself is staring at a decision: stick with Amorim and risk another wasted season, or cut losses early and go hunting for yet another rebuild.
Right now, one thing’s clear, this isn’t the Manchester United anyone signed up for.
