What Amorim said
The 39-year-old was yanked away from an excelling season with Sporting to save the Red Devils campaign after Erik ten Hag was sacked mid-season.
He changed the formation and playing system and axed the likes of Rashford for not “desiring” enough; still, Manchester United are struggling and have lost five home games under him already.
Amorim admits to the struggle, and in a presser, he said the club had to suffer to be successful in the future, as they are not ready to compete for it now.

What Dalot said
Speaking directly to the fans at a local supporters club meeting, the Portugal international expressed his confidence in Amorim and their ability to compete for the title in the future.
“If you want me to be completely honest, with this manager, I think we can win a Premier League,” Dalot said, per Man United website. “I think realistically we can win. But then it becomes the most difficult thing to hear as a fan: that it will take time.

”I understand. I'm a player but, at the same time, I know what you feel. I know that this club is thirsty to win and everybody wants to win. We're not talking about cups—I know that is important—to win trophies—but what brought this club to what it is is big trophies.
“I think we can win a Premier League with this manager, but at the same time, we need to create an environment where he has everything set for what he wants from the players. We need to also adapt to the system. It will take some time.
”Obviously we cannot think too much ahead, but I'm really convinced that the way he conducts himself, the way that he communicates with players, the idea that he has... we can do it. Now it becomes the most difficult part, but being really honest and positive about it, I think we can win big trophies with this manager.”
