‘You could feel in moments it's not working’ - Man United players furious with Amorim
The Red Devils have struggled under the guidance of new manager Amorim and they have made no progress since Erik Ten Hag's departure.
Man United's 3-2 victory over Ipswich on Wednesday eased some of the pressure at Old Trafford and moved the team up to 14th place in the Premier League.
The club experienced a challenging week off the pitch, with chief executive Omar Berrada announcing on Monday that job cuts impacting up to 200 staff members were possible.
Man United players complaining
Bruno Fernandes has suggested that he and his teammates have reservations about their manager's tactical approach.
Speaking to TNT Sport after the match, Fernandes said, “Me and H (Maguire) have been here for a while already, so we know we have to stick with what we've been training, what we've been trying to do, what we're supposed to do.
“You could feel in moments it's not working, but for some reason the manager wants us to do that. If he wants us to do that, they (the opposition) watch us for many games and prepare themselves.

“We have a big staff, not just his ones but the ones that are already here. We have great people behind the team to try to work on that so if they do that in the right way, we just have to come on the pitch and show it.”
Manchester United will host Fulham in the FA Cup fifth-round clash on Saturday, giving Fernandes and his teammates another opportunity to showcase their skills.
