Man Utd lost 0-1 to Arsenal in the opening round and then drew 1-1 with Fulham at Craven Cottage on 24/8. After two matches, Man Utd has only one point and continues to exhibit problems from last season.

Rooney believes Amorim has no excuses left this season. On the BBC podcast, the 39-year-old former striker and manager said, "The team has received investment, and Amorim has the necessary new players. Now he has to start winning, and the sooner the better. If the situation doesn't improve by October or November, the pressure will be immense,".

This summer, Man Utd signed Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko, and Diego Leon, aiming to return to European competition after finishing 15th last season. However, Rooney believes the "Red Devils'" early performances this season aren't enough to confirm Amorim as a long-term choice. "It's hard to say if Amorim will be Man Utd's manager in five years. He himself probably isn't sure based on what he's shown so far," Rooney added.

Analyzing the draw against Fulham, Rooney pointed out the positive aspect of the team's strong start and creation of several beautiful plays. However, Man Utd lost control in the second half, playing passively and allowing the opponent to easily penetrate their defense. "Seeing how Fulham surged, I thought they could even win," the Man Utd captain from 2014 to 2017 said. "There's still a lot of work Amorim needs to do,".

Despite only two rounds having passed, the 39-year-old legend believes Man Utd needs a perfect start to erase the sad memories of last season. Therefore, one out of a possible six points is a worrying sign for the team.

This week, Man Utd will face Grimsby in the second round of the League Cup before returning to the Premier League to host Burnley at Old Trafford. Of course, the Red Devils are expected to win both matches, and convincingly so.
