The "Mirror" reported that Manchester United senior officials have spoken with some players to understand their views on coach Amorim and the current situation, and the feedback received is that the players still support him.
Amorim secured a much-needed victory over Sunderland at Old Trafford last weekend, but in his 50th Premier League game he has yet to achieve a winning streak, underscoring the difficulties of his tenure.
His long-term future in Manchester remains a focus of discussion, especially with the coach so adherent to his football philosophy, but this has not led to an improvement in the record. ESPN reports that Manchester United chief executive Berarda and director of football Jason Wilcox have spoken with members of the team, including captain B Fee and the leadership team, and they believe Amorim still has support.
These conversations were informal, and the senior management did not deliberately test the players' words before the club made a decision on Amorim's future.
Mount said that despite the early-season struggles, the locker room supports the coach 100%. Less than two weeks ago, defender De Ligt also publicly backed Amorim following the 3-1 defeat at Brentford.
Any decision to sack Amorim will involve Sir Ratcliffe and Glazer, Berada and Wilcox will also be consulted because they are personally involved in the decisions that have been made at the club and they have been actively trying to understand the atmosphere in the team.
Both are based at Carrington training base, which gives them a deeper understanding of this. This also allows them to maintain constant communication with Amorim and the team thanks to the communal areas of the new training centre.
When asked about his future, Amorim continued to show his refusal to admit defeat and insisted that his playing style was not the reason for the team's struggles. He said: "When you need to make money to pay the bills, you are afraid of losing your job, but I don't feel that way, I just want to carry on. But when we lose the game, that is the pain I bear, but the pain is not the fear of losing the job, I don't care about the job."
"I think we are thinking about the formation system, but I think we need to look at all aspects of the game. This team has played in different systems for many years, and you have been talking about a lack of identity, no ideas and so on."
