There was an awful long time left after Everton\u2019s goal. Everyone\u2019s eyes are looking at the manager. You could hear Gary [Neville] a lot on commentary wondering what changes he\u2019s going to make.<\/p>\n<p>MORE MAN UTD COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<br \/>\ud83d\udc49\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/amorim-admits-man-utd-star-struggling-opens-door-two-january-transfers\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ruben Amorim admits Man Utd star is \u2018struggling\u2019 as he opens door to two January transfers<\/a><br \/>\ud83d\udc49\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/man-utd-transfer-not-happening-january-anderson-rated-maybe-gallagher\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Man Utd transfer \u2018not going to happen in January\u2019 as another deal is rated as a \u2018maybe\u2019<\/a><br \/>\ud83d\udc49\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.football365.com\/news\/2025-26-premier-league-prize-money-table-tv\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Premier League prize money table revealed as Arsenal and Liverpool slip behind shock teams<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cRuben Amorim feels like the first manager who sticks with the system rather than an idea of how to play.
