The Portuguese head coach is under more pressure after Saturday's 3-1 loss at Brentford.

The defeat meant that United still haven't won back-to-back Premier League games under Amorim as they failed to carry the momentum from their win over Chelsea last weekend. United slipped to 14th with Brentford leapfrogging them in the process and it has led to reports that a managerial shortlist is already being compiled to replace the 40-year-old.
