I can\u2019t see how this can continue. They keep saying they want to back the manager and they\u2019re going to stick with it, they are awful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re one of the worst Man United teams I\u2019ve ever seen. Win percentage is one of the worst since World War Two.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think they\u2019ve got 31 points from 31 games that he\u2019s been involved in. It\u2019s relegation form, it really is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019ve got to bite the bullet and say this is not going to work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no progression, there\u2019s no improvement.

They played well against Arsenal \u2013 they lost at home \u2013 they had a decent game but they didn\u2019t score.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were absolutely terrible against Grimsby, shocking performance, shocking against Man [City] and they were bang average against Burnley. They needed a lot minute mistake fro a Burnley player to go and win the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf that didn\u2019t happen, they\u2019d be sitting on two points. Come on, this is unacceptable for Man United.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI get it, they want to try and back a manager and they want to have stability, I\u2019m sorry, I have never seen a performance so bad from a Man United team. It\u2019s getting worse and worse.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd you can\u2019t tell me it\u2019s going to all of a sudden change and they\u2019re going to get better. He\u2019s been backed, he\u2019s got players in and they\u2019re still terrible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe formation doesn\u2019t work, they\u2019ve got no identity, the players have got a complete lack of confidence on the ball, without the ball.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey don\u2019t get the system, they cannot make it work, and Ruben Amorim is so arrogant and so stuck in his ways of \u2018this is how I\u2019m going to play.\u2019 You\u2019re basically telling the team every single week this is how Man United are going to set up, this is the performance they\u2019re going to put in and let\u2019s work on that and go and beat them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>O\u2019Hara also feels that Bruno Fernandes is having the creativity sucked out of him by being played in the wrong role.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey get over in midfield every single week. They\u2019ve got one of the best creative midfielders in the world in Bruno Fernandes, they\u2019re trying to play him as a No.6, he\u2019s not a No.6, he\u2019s a No.10, he\u2019s an attacking midfielder.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re taking everything away from his game.
