Ruben Amorim retains the backing of the Manchester United board, who remain of the view that he is the man to turn the club’s fortunes around.
Sunday’s 3-0 derby defeat at rivals City means that, with four points from their opening four games, United have recorded their worst start to a Premier League season since 1992-93.
They are also out of the Carabao Cup, having lost on penalties to League Two Grimsby Town.
However, Daily Mail Sport understands that there are no plans to fire the Portuguese, who joined midway through last season, and a view that – despite results – progress is being made.
