Across all competitions he managed 63 games: 25 wins, 15 draws and 23 losses, with United scoring 122 and conceding 114.<\/p>\n<p>The Premier League record was weaker. In 47 league matches Amorim recorded 15 wins, 13 draws and 19 defeats, scoring 66 and conceding 72. Those results yielded 58 points and an average of 1.23 points per game, the lowest points-per-game figure of any United manager in the Premier League era. The previous low was Ralf Rangnick on 1.54.<\/p>\n<p>Amorim\u2019s overall win percentage across all competitions was 39.68%. That sits well below several recent predecessors: Sir Alex Ferguson 61.34%, Jos\u00e9 Mourinho 58.33%, Erik ten Hag 56.25%, Ole Gunnar Solskj\u00e6r 54.76%, Louis van Gaal 52.43% and David Moyes 50.98%.<\/p>\n<p>Player usage under Amorim shows Bruno Fernandes leading appearances with 58. Diogo Dalot played 54 times, Leny Yoro 53, Noussair Mazraoui 49 and Manuel Ugarte 49. Goalscoring was concentrated: Bruno Fernandes led with 20 goals, Amad Diallo scored 10, Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus H\u00f8jlund both finished on eight, and Bryan Mbeumo contributed seven.<\/p>\n<p>Amorim\u2019s spell also contained several negative firsts. In December 2024 he became the quickest United manager to reach four Premier League defeats, doing so in 10 games, and he was the first manager since 1932 to lose five of his opening 10 across all competitions. The 2024\u201325 campaign, half of which was spent under his leadership, produced United\u2019s first-ever season without consecutive wins and ended with club records for fewest wins (10), fewest goals (42), fewest points (39) and most defeats (17).<\/p>\n<p>The 2025\u201326 season began poorly as Amorim became the fastest manager in Premier League history to reach 15 defeats, reaching that mark in his 28th league game. His final match, a 1\u20131 draw with Leeds United, completed a run of 15 consecutive away Premier League games without a clean sheet for United.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amorim leaves after 63 games; 15 Premier League wins from 47, 1.23 points per game, record low. 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5734,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[230,179,172],"tags":[538,342,260],"class_list":["post-5735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-analytics-stats","category-manchester-united","category-epl","tag-amad-diallo","tag-bruno-fernandes","tag-bryan-mbeumo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5735\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5734"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
