"It's hard to tell a coach to change his philosophy, it's impossible. I'll play my way until I want to change. If you want to change immediately, change the coach. There have been a lot of problems in the last few months and I need to solve them one by one.
I accept this result but one thing is for sure, I will not change my playing style and formation,” said coach Amorim after the defeat at Etihad Stadium.

The 297th Manchester derby ended with a 3-0 victory for Man City, which left Amorim's team with only 4 points after the first 4 matches in the Premier League. This is Man Utd's worst start since the 1992-93 season.
Coach Amorim's future at Man Utd is more shaky than ever as the Portuguese strategist has only won 8 of the 31 matches he has led the team in the Premier League.
“My message is that I will give my all. I will do everything, always thinking of the best for the club. As long as I am here, I will give my best. I really want to win and I am suffering more than them.
"The team's performance in this match was not good. In important moments, Man City did better than us. I try to look at it rationally. I see the statistics, I understand the frustration and I understand the decisions that can come with it. I accept the criticism. That's all," coach Amorim said after the match.
Man Utd failed to score, instead they conceded 3 goals from Phil Foden and Erling Haaland, in which the Norwegian striker scored a double.
Despite controlling the ball for 55% of the match, the “Red Devils” were ineffective. In the last 10 minutes of the match, Man Utd played better, but Bryan Mbeumo and substitute Casemiro both unfortunately missed the target.

Despite suffering their third defeat of the season, including two Premier League games and a shock defeat to fourth-tier Grimsby Town in the League Cup, Amorim insisted that United have shown improvement on last season, despite scoring just one goal from open play in four Premier League games.
“I think we are playing better but the results do not reflect that. There were times when Man Utd were superior to Man City but in transition, they finished better. Mbeumo also had chances but overall, in important moments, Man City were superior to us,” coach Amorim concluded at the press conference.
