Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim is fully aware that his job will be in “danger” if results under him don’t improve. Defeat away at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Boxing Day was a fourth in seven league games since the Portuguese took over from Erik ten Hag in November.

Manchester United need some help in the January transfer window. The Red Devils sacked Erik ten Hag and brought in Ruben Amorim to change their fortunes earlier in the season, but recent results have not gone their way.

For whatever reason, talented individual players cannot repeatedly execute the most basic drills when they need to.
