Riccardo Calafiori’s header handed the Red Devils a narrow defeat in their Premier League opener on Sunday.
While Amorim’s side showed promise, the Portuguese boss made history in a way he would rather forget.
According to Opta, Amorim has now lost 15 of his 28 Premier League games (with seven wins and six draws). This is the fastest a manager has reached that many defeats in the competition, without taking charge of a newly promoted club in that period, since Paul Hart with Portsmouth in 2009 (27 games).
Amorim’s United will look to rebound when they visit Fulham next Sunday, after the Cottagers opened with a draw at Brighton. A day earlier, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal welcome newly-promoted Leeds.
