Horror stats pile pressure on Ruben Amorim at Man United despite Benjamin Sesko emulating Cristiano Ronaldo

Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United nightmare is showing no signs of stopping with a 3-1 defeat to Brentford compounding their misery further.

The Red Devils came into the game on Saturday following a win over Chelsea, but they’ve come crashing back down to earth again.

Ruben Amorim’s wait to secure back-to-back wins at Man United goes on

Igor Thiago scored two before Benjamin Sesko got one back before the break to help his side avoid embarrassment.

However, Sesko’s strike only ended up delaying that embarrassment until later in the game when Mathias Jensen wrapped things up.

The defeat for Man United meant they dropped down to 13th in the Premier League table with seven points from five games.

But the result was not only the first thing Amorim needed to worry about, with some horror stats emerging post-match.

Since his first match in charge of United in November 2024, no team has conceded the first goal in more Premier League games.

They have shockingly let in 21 opening goals in that time.

On top of that, Man United still have not managed to win consecutive Premier League games under Amorim.

The Portuguese boss has taken charge of 33 games in the top-flight and has never won two in a row.

In total, he’s only won nine of the 33 matches, losing 17 and drawing seven, with that record severely concerning.

And it doesn’t stop there for Amorim, who, with a loss in his 200th game as a manager, has now lost three more of his 33 Premier League clashes (17) than he did in 167 Primeira Liga matches (14).

Finding a positive

Amorim may be more focused on the doubts over his future as Man United manager, considering those worrying stats.

However, he may find one positive in Sesko getting his first goal for the club after his £74million summer move.

The striker was more involved in the action after a slow start at the club, having six shots with four on target in total.

All four of those shots on target came in the first half and that actually saw him emulate an icon.

Sesko became the first Man United player to have four or more shots on target in the first half of a league match since Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo managed the feat against West Ham in 2021, so that is a promising sign for the 22-year-old.
