The Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim has faced sharp criticism from Manchester United fans on social media, following the team's disappointing start in the Premier League this season.

Manchester United is experiencing one of its worst starts in the Premier League in 33 years, currently sitting in fourteenth place in the standings with only 4 points after 4 matches.

According to the British newspaper "Daily Mail", Manchester United would be obliged to pay £12 million to coach Ruben Amorim if they decide to dismiss him during the first year of his contract.

Amorim took over the team's management on November 1st, with a contract extending for two and a half years, worth £6.5 million annually, with an option to extend for an additional year, after the club paid £9.2 million to part ways with Sporting Lisbon.

Despite the management's continued support for Amorim, press reports confirm that there are alternative names being considered in case the coach is let go, including:

Marco Silva, Fulham's coach.

Unai Emery, Aston Villa's coach.

Oliver Glasner, Crystal Palace's coach.

Andoni Iraola, Bournemouth's coach.

The newspaper also revealed concerning atmospheres within the team following the derby loss, with sources close to the situation indicating that some players have begun to lose confidence in the coach's style, amidst accusations of him not reacting and disappearing in tough moments.

Manchester United is preparing for a tough match against Chelsea next Saturday, in the Premier League, at 7:30 PM Cairo and Mecca time.
