The defeat marked United’s third consecutive loss in the league, leaving them just seven points above the relegation zone at the halfway point of the season.
“I think that it [relegation] is a possibility, and we have to be clear with our fans,” Amorim admitted during the post-match press conference.
“We have to change something, but this season will be really hard on everybody. It can make us stronger, and we have to fight.”
The Red Devils, who have not been relegated since earning promotion to the old First Division in 1975, now find themselves in unfamiliar territory.
Despite the club’s illustrious history, this season’s struggles have left fans and players questioning the team’s future in the top flight.
Monday’s defeat highlighted ongoing issues with United’s defence and a lack of consistency in attack. Critics have pointed to tactical shortcomings and a need for squad reinforcements during the January transfer window to address the team’s weaknesses.
Amorim has called for unity among players, staff, and fans as the team battles to turn their fortunes around. With critical fixtures ahead, Manchester United must rediscover their form to avoid a disastrous end to the season.
As the relegation battle looms, all eyes will be on Old Trafford to see whether the club can rally and preserve its proud Premier League legacy.
