So far Manchester United are still quite good in the UEFA Europa League. Although they are in 12th place in the standings, they are still unbeaten in the UEL. They have won 2 of their last 2 matches even though they were actually only against mediocre teams. I think it is still difficult to determine whether Amorim has succeeded in making United better at this time. They were able to beat PAOK with a score of 2-0 but they struggled to beat the mediocre FK Bodø/Glimt. But Amorim has shown positive changes. At this time we cannot expect Amorim to make United like Sporting because Amorim got the team left by Ten Hag and not the team with the players he wanted. I think United will make player purchases in the winter transfer market.
Week 6 will be a very important match to win. Manchester United in the Europa League are in 12th place and Victoria Plzen are in 13th. If 3 points can be won then Manchester United can rise significantly through 3/4 ladder ranking.
As Amorim said after the big win over Everton that he didn't really care about the final result because he was really focused on improving the players performance. It looks like things are going quite well and it's a positive sign after the transfer window opened. Amorim will have the opportunity to buy players who can fulfil his targets.
