Ruben Amorim says he has "no idea" how long it will take to fix Manchester United's problems after their 2-0 defeat to Wolves.
United fell to their fourth defeat in their last five Premier League matches after goals from Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-Chan, with Bruno Fernandes also being sent off for the third time this season to compound their misery.
It was Amorim's fifth defeat in just 10 games in charge, making him the first manager to endure such a run in all competitions since Walter Crickmer in January 1932 (lost six of his first 10).
The 39-year-old admitted he could not give a timeframe for when United's fortunes could improve.
"The idea needs time," said the Portuguese head coach.
"I said it before to you guys that this will be a tough moment, and we are far from the end of this moment and that's it."
When asked how long he thinks it would take for an upturn in performances and form, Amorim said: "I have no idea. No idea. Instead of me trying to understand how much time it will take, just day by day."
United are in 14th place in the Premier League but face a tough run, with Newcastle United at home before travelling to face rivals Liverpool at Anfield and Arsenal in the FA Cup.
The Red Devils have now suffered as many defeats in their last five Premier League games as in their previous 15 matches in the competition (W7 D4). Indeed, only Everton and Southampton (both nine) have failed to score in more different games this season than their seven.
"In this moment, we just have to survive and to win some time to work on the team," Amorim said.
"We already knew it. I start this job, and you start with the team, a new idea, without any time to train, with a lot of games, tough games.
"It's a long journey, like I said in the first day. We have to continue, and we have to fight these bad moments because this is part of football."

If Amorim says that, he has no idea when Manchester United team will Improve then, he should ask the Management to go, because he is not sure π€ of himself.

Amorim should focus on revamping the squad. Manchester United currently has a squad that doesn't push the team forward. They are stuck playing at the back, holding possession without making significant advances, especially when games are tight and they need to win. I believe the best solution is to rebuild the team. Let go of the underperforming players and bring in better ones. Additionally, Amorim should consider promoting a few young, hungry players from the academy who are eager to prove themselves. The current first-team players seem more concerned with their salaries than the team's performance. English fans will always support their players, but if they are not delivering, the coach will face criticism. Amorim should take the time to rebuild the team, similar to what Arteta did at Arsenal. Given his contract until 2027, Amorim has the opportunity to reshape the team and achieve success.

Whichever formation, line up, philosophy you can't expect improvement any time soon with these players at Manchester United. They play possessive football but goals play a big role and result in a win. The question is where can these goals come from?

Amorim looks a stubborn person like ETH who are highly attached to their opinions. How many matches does amorim wants lose before realising that man utd presently don't have the quality of players to fit into 3-4-3 playing strategy? I am sure Amorim should be regretting unrespectfully allowing van nysteroy to pack out old Trafford.

You wonβt hear it from my mouth that Alex Ferguson sacrificed the future of Manchester United in her glory days. Itβd take the combination of Illuminati and Free mason to restore the years that cankerworm ate.
