Manchester United, according to reports, are said to remain supportive of head coach Amorim despite the humiliating loss to Brentford which left them 14th in the Premier League table.

Speaking on the latest edition of BBC podcast The Wayne Rooney Show, Rooney said that the club is broken and that he goes to games expecting them to lose.
Rooney added that some current players “don’t deserve to wear the shirt”, the side “needs a new engine” and supporters are “waiting for the club to crumble”.
“I am not seeing anything which is giving me any confidence, there needs to be big changes in my opinion,” said the former England striker, who won five league titles during 13 years at Old Trafford.
“Manager, players, whatever that is. Whatever it takes to get Manchester United back.”
Manchester United’s 3-1 defeat at Brentford on Saturday meant they have collected 34 points from Amorim’s 33 league games in charge and have still to win successive matches.
United finished 15th in the Premier League last season, their worst finish to a top-flight campaign since they were relegated from the old First Division in 1973-74.
Amorim took charge of United last November having lifted the Portuguese title with Sporting in successive seasons.
Defeat at Brentford meant the Red Devils are winless in their last eight Premier League away games (two draws and six losses), their longest run since 2019.
