Manchester United has only gathered 4 points: can Amorim repeat Ferguson's success.

According to The Sun: A poor start to the season for Manchester United may have direct positive prospects.

This is despite the statistics indicating that Ruben Amorim is currently the worst manager in the Premier League.

In Sunday’s derby, United lost to neighbors Manchester City with a score of 3-0.

On an emotional day at the Etihad, during the tragic death of Ricky Hatton, Phil Foden and two goals from Erling Haaland destroyed the Red Devils.

This defeat came after a 1-0 loss to Arsenal, a 1-1 draw with Fulham, and a tense 3-2 win over Burnley before the international break.

United now has only four points after the first four matches, sitting in 14th place in the table with a goal difference of -3.

The team is currently eight points off the leaders Liverpool.

Statistics and history

While a low points tally looks bleak, it may have ironic positives.

This is the worst start for the club since the 1992-93 season, however, Sir Alex Ferguson managed to lead his team to the Premier League title at the end of that season.

But the statistics from Opta do not cheer Amorim, who is 40 years old.

He took charge of Manchester United on November 24 of last year, drawing 1-1 with Ipswich.

Since then, out of 17 Premier League clubs, his team sits in LAST place in the table.

They have gathered only 31 points from 31 matches, of which only 8 were victories.

This is similar to Tottenham, but with a worse goal difference of -13 to -4.

At the other end of the table, Liverpool leads with 68 points.

Performance rating of Man United against Man City: Mbeumo forced Donnarumma to make a great save, but that's all that was achieved

A dreadful start to the season for Manchester United continues after they were thrashed by neighbors Man City.

Ruben Amorim's team failed to bounce back from the international break, suffering an away defeat of 3-0.

Phil Foden opened the scoring for City in the 18th minute, and two goals from Erling Haaland made the victory unequivocal.

United are now in 14th place in the table, while City climbed to second place with their second win of the season.

Here’s how SunSport rated every Manchester United player’s performance...

They are trailing behind Arsenal (64), Chelsea (58), City (54), Newcastle (53), and Crystal Palace (52).

Despite the poor start, Amorim is in no rush to change his 3-4-3 formation.

“This is not the record we should have at Manchester United.”

“I accept this, but I am not going to change.”

“When I want to change my philosophy, I will do it, but if not, then the person needs to change.”

“We will talk about this in every lost game. I played my style and will continue to play it until I want to change.”

United won the Premier League title in 1992-93, despite having only four points after the first four matches.

The situation at Manchester United is extremely challenging, however, in sports, dynamics can change quite quickly. Although the results are not currently encouraging, the historical context and the experience of previous managers suggest that there is always a chance for recovery. Players and fans hope for changes that can lead to better performances in upcoming matches.
