Manchester United failed to win once again under Ruben Amorim as his side drew 1-1 away at Fulham to earn their first point of the season.
Following the draw with Fulham, OptaJoe revealed how bad things have been for Amorim since he came to England’s top flight.
What is worrying for Amorim is that Warnock’s record includes two relegations from the Premier League, which is something the 40-year-old would want to avoid.

Football Insider verdict
United have begun the season with more reasons for optimism than were shown by how the team played under Amorim last season.
However, United’s midfield options have been thrown into the spotlight once again as Amorim’s side were dominated in the middle of the park by Fulham’s double pivot.
Sander Berge and Sasa Lukic bossed the midfield, and Bruno Fernandes, partnered with Casemiro were no match for them, and neither was Mason Mount when he dropped deeper, nor Manuel Ugarte when he came on.
Questions surround Kobbie Mainoo, who many think could do a job in the midfield, but United’s squad lacks an engine who has an expansive passing range in midfield areas.
