At Manchester United, the hiring of Ruben Amorim has exposed a dramatic swing in fortunes. Looking back at Erik ten Hag’s final stretch, his Red Devils went 12–7–10 in their last 29 Premier League games—a win rate of just over 40 percent. By contrast, Amorim’s opening 29 outings tell a bleaker story: 7–7–15, a slump beneath the expectations that once surrounded his arrival.
Ten Hag’s closing run was far from spectacular, but it offered a decent measure of stability. His side registered 12 wins—enough to sustain a mid-table pulse, if not a title challenge.
Enter Amorim. From the outset, he inherited a club in flux, yet the results have been even more sobering. United have claimed only seven league wins in his first 29 games, plodding to a nearly one-third drop in victories. In essence, the club is now leaning more heavily on drops than draws or triumphs.

This decline is corroborated by several sources. Under Amorim, United endured 15 defeats in just 28 Premier League outings—making him the fastest in club history to reach that many losses in the Premier League era . In comparison, Ten Hag took 53 matches to face the same tally of losses.
Further, Amorim has posted one of United’s poorest win ratios in decades. With a win percentage hovering around 24%, he ranks among the worst-performing managers in 94 years.
In short, what began as a transitional moment for United has, so far, translated into a glaring downturn. Amorim’s record—less enticing than Ten Hag’s final days—paints a stark portrait: a club now searching for answers amid a grinding wave of setbacks, rather than striding toward rejuvenation.
