If their performance continues like this, Man United will again have difficulty breaking into the European Zone because other teams are starting to show their quality, especially since the EPL has so many strong teams that make the competition for the top 6 positions very competitive. Losing 5 points in the first two games of the season made Amorim need to make tactical changes in his squad, the 3-4-2-1 formation used when facing Fulham was very ineffective, the proof is that the only goal that prevented them from losing came from an own goal by a Fulham player.
Having the goal of reaching the Champions League or Europa League zone is certainly a good thing, but I think Manchester United's focus now should be on how to improve their defense and their blunt attack.
The standings will follow when their performance can be said to be good, but for now, it is clearly very difficult to achieve. Two of their matches ended unsatisfactorily, and they only managed to secure one point clearly not a good start for a club like Manchester United.
They have been given the necessary resources to acquire the players Amorim desires, but so far, their performance has yet to deliver anything worth celebrating.
If Manchester United continues in this manner, the circumstances they faced in recent seasons could very well repeat themselves this season.
