Amorim has spent around £200 million on new players during the summer transfer window, bringing in players like Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo, and Matheus Cunha. Despite this, the team still looks unable to score goals.
Rooney, speaking on his podcast, believes that Amorim has no excuses for not getting results this season. "There's no excuses now for the manager this season," he said. "He's got to start getting results and getting them quickly." Rooney thinks that if results don't improve, pressure will start to mount in October or November.
However, Rooney also expressed his confidence in Amorim as the right man for the job in the long term. He thinks that the recruitment of new players has been impressive, and that two or three more signings would be beneficial. But he also acknowledges that it's difficult to say whether Amorim will be the manager for the next five years based on the team's current performance.
United's next game is against newly promoted Burnley, a match that they need to win to stay in the hunt for a top-half finish. If they fail to get the three points, there may be reports of Amorim's possible sacking.
