According to Simon Mullock, chief reporter of the Mirror, despite winning the first victory in the new season with captain B Fei's penalty kick, Manchester United executives are still worried that Amorin may voluntarily leave.

Manchester United executives still firmly believe that Amorin can turn the situation around, but the coach needs to control his capricious behavior. After losing to English League Two team Greensby on Wednesday night, news spread within the club that Amorin might resign during international match day. However, with a dramatic victory over Burnley, this possibility has temporarily eased.

Some senior players were disappointed that Amorin insisted on using the tactical system that had succeeded in Portugal, believing that this system was not suitable for Manchester United's lineup. Amorin's habit of publicly criticizing players also made some people feel dissatisfied, and the players believe this should be resolved internally. But after losing to Greensby, Amorin even publicly stated that he sometimes hates his players.

Amorin did not hide his doubts about whether it was suitable for the job. He said in May that he was willing to give up compensation and leave Manchester United if he thought it would be beneficial to both sides, which aroused the alert from the club's senior management. Manchester United believes that they have fully supported Amorin, not only supporting the transfer funds, but also sent away players such as Rashford, Sancho, Anthony, Garnacho and Malaysia as he wished.
