Read our privacy policy Ruben Amorim has lost three of his first six Premier League games in charge of Manchester United after Sunday’s humbling against Bournemouth. David Moyes W2 D1 L3, F8 A8 Ferguson’s hand-picked successor announced himself by winning the Community Shield and then beating Swansea 4-1 – but defeats to rivals Liverpool and Manchester City quickly stalled his momentum and he failed to last the first season of his six-year contract. Jose Mourinho W4 D0 L2, F12 A7 Another opening Community Shield win was followed by league victories over Bournemouth, Southampton and Hull before Mourinho’s first real test brought defeat to Manchester City. Ruben Amorim W2 D1 L3, F9 A10 United were held by Ipswich in Amorim’s first game in charge and while there have been bright spots – a hammering of Everton and a derby win over faltering rivals City, plus two Europa League wins – defeats to Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth show there is plenty of work to do.
