Is Ruben Amorim Already Losing Control After Manchester United’s Costly Draw with Fulham?

Manchester United’s rocky start to the season shows no sign of easing after they stumbled to a 1-1 draw against Fulham at Craven Cottage. Still searching for their first league victory, the Red Devils looked to have set the tone when Leny Yoro’s header, which deflected off Rodrigo Muniz, gave them the lead. But their advantage didn’t last long, as Fulham substitute Emile Smith Rowe made an instant impact by equalising with practically his first touch.

However, the Red Devils created several chances, but failed to show the calmness to convert any. That failed attempt reflected a disappointing first 45 minutes, causing United to regret what could have been a crucial point. The most dramatic scene took place when Bruno Fernandes, consistently trustworthy during penalties, struck the ball, missed the target after a VAR-awarded foul on Mason Mount.

The match result barely relieves the increasing pressure on Ruben Amorim. Defensive mistakes and unconverted chances repeatedly undermine his team, prompting more questions concerning their strength to compete with the league’s elite. While Yoro’s early goal showed potential, Fernandes’ misfire and Smith Rowe’s equaliser exposed a team battling to finish matches decisively.

IMPACTOTRENDING’S VERDICT:

For Manchester United, it seemed more like a missed opportunity and close to dropping crucial points. A squad with hopes of reclaiming a Champions League spot must not waste such opportunities. The pressure is building on Ruben Amorim, and with composure under strain, United have to rapidly adapt to turn draws into wins before losing more ground to their rivals.
