Ruben Amorim is preparing as normal for Manchester United<\/a>‘s game against Sunderland<\/a>, sources have told ESPN, and has been given no indication that he will not be on the touchline at Old Trafford next weekend.<\/p>\n

Amorim is facing mounting pressure following the Saturday’s 3-1 loss<\/a> to Brentford<\/a> on Saturday. His 17th defeat in 33 Premier League<\/a> since his appointment in November has left United 14th in the table ahead of Sunderland’s visit.<\/p>\n

According to sources, it’s been business as usual for Amorim since the setback at the Gtech Community Stadium.<\/p>\n

The 40-year-old attended an open day at Carrington on Sunday along with his family<\/p>\n

The event was arranged before the start of the season to allow the families of players and staff to tour the new facilities at Carrington.<\/p>\n

Family members watched training and activities were laid on for the children. It was followed by a group meal in the new canteen at the revamped training ground.<\/p>\n

Sources have told ESPN that the squad were given a day off on Monday. Preparations ahead of Sunderland set to step up once they return to training on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

United sources have insisted the club are not currently looking for replacements for Amorim and had denied speculation that co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has already met Gareth Southgate.<\/p>\n

The former England<\/a> boss was under consideration as a possible replacement for Erik ten Hag before Amorim’s appointment.<\/p>\n

The United hierarchy are keen to give Amorim as much time as possible to turn things around.<\/p>\n

There is, however, an acceptance that results will have to improve quickly if they are going to meet their preseason target of qualifying for Europe.<\/p>\n

Sunderland’s visit to Old Trafford is followed by a two-week international break.<\/p>\n

United’s first game back is against Liverpool<\/a> at Anfield on Oct. 19 before a home game against Brighton<\/a> on Oct. 25.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ruben Amorim is preparing as normal for Manchester United‘s game against Sunderland, sources have told ESPN, and has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":190459,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-190458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190458"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190458\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=190458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=190458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
