The result means Ruben Amorim\u2019s<\/a> side have four points from four games, after being knocked out of the Carabao Cup<\/a> by League Two outfit Grimsby Town.<\/p>\n United started the match well, but went a goal down after 18 minutes when Phil Foden found the back of the net with a header. The Red Devils were unable to strike back as Erling Haaland completed the win with a second-half brace.<\/p>\n These results will inevitably lead to more pressure for Ruben Amorim<\/a>, with pundits asking more questions about his system and decision-making.<\/p>\n Amorim has been adamant that his preferred system is not the problem and he is unwilling to change his methods, even if results don\u2019t pick up in the near future.<\/p>\n There was little sign of a comeback from Manchester United<\/a> at the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n While Amorim did not have many attacking options on the pitch, he did wait until the final minutes to bring on Joshua Zirkzee<\/a> \u2013 after making several changes elsewhere in the team.<\/p>\n The United head coach<\/a> has been guilty of making changes to his defence in every game, even when the Red Devils are chasing games.<\/p>\n Leny Yoro<\/a>, Matthijs de Ligt<\/a> and Luke Shaw<\/a> started in the back three against City. However, Shaw was the only defender to make the full match, despite being the worst performer by some distance.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery single time I watch Man Utd, he changes the back three,\u201d Neville said on Sky Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cThat tells me he\u2019s not sure about which back three to play. He doesn\u2019t just change the back three, he changes the back five.\u201d<\/p>\n Neville also warned that Amorim will be in trouble if United are still 14th in October.<\/p>\n \u201cMan Utd are 14th,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re only four games in. We all said we can\u2019t be getting into October where Man Utd are 14th or 15th in the league otherwise the manager will be in trouble. They have to start winning quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n Amorim\u2019s worrying Premier League record<\/p>\n![\"Ruben](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/GettyImages-2234858706-1024x683.jpg\")
