Manchester United's 0-2 loss to bottom team Wolverhampton on Boxing Day means that the giant club is, in terms of placement, with a 14th place, closer to relegation than a Champions League spot.

The loss was United's third in a row in the league and cup, and in the Portuguese's first ten matches, there have been five losses.

A result that makes him the first United manager since Walter Crickmer in 1932 to lose so many of his first ten matches in the club.

I have no idea how long this will take. Instead of wondering about it, we need to get better, watch video clips, use every minute of training, and try to win points. It's very important right now, says Amorim and continues:

Right now, it's about surviving and winning while we work with the team.

Manchester United's next match is against a form-strong Newcastle, fifth in the table and with three straight wins, with Alexander Isak up front on Monday.

Alexander Isak has scored goals in five matches in a row and stands at a total of eleven goals in the Premier League so far.
