Amorim sets sad record when MU loses to Arsenal

On the evening of August 17 (Hanoi time), coach Ruben Amorim continued to experience difficult days when MU lost 0-1 at home to Arsenal in the opening match of the 2025/26 Premier League.

Amorim hit 15 defeats in just 28 Premier League games.

The defeat means the Portuguese has now lost 15 games in just 28 games in charge. Amorim is the quickest manager to lose 15 Premier League games with a non-starter since Paul Hart at Portsmouth in 2009.

Since replacing Erik ten Hag in November, Amorim has failed to turn things around, with United finishing 15th last season and losing 1-0 to Tottenham in the Europa League final in Bilbao.

Off the pitch, the 39-year-old coach is also facing a series of troubles. Conflicts with Marcus Rashford have seen the English star sent on loan to Aston Villa and Barcelona, while Alejandro Garnacho is also preparing to leave Old Trafford with Chelsea his dream destination.

Despite a bustling summer transfer window, MU's new season's debut did not go as expected. Amorim surprised everyone by dropping Andre Onana and giving the starting position to Altay Bayindir. That decision proved to be a turning point. The Turkish goalkeeper misjudged the high ball, allowing Riccardo Calafiori to easily score the decisive goal for Arsenal.

Despite the aggressive performances of new recruits Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, the "Red Devils" still wasted many opportunities and were unable to find an equalizer. The 0-1 defeat to Arsenal at Old Trafford not only exposed MU's weaknesses but also put Amorim in an increasingly suffocating situation on the coaching bench.
