Portuguese coach Amorim was brought in as his replacement and has looked to switch to a 3-4-3 system since his arrival, but he has struggled to get his ideas across to the team and United have lost each of their last three league games as they prepare to travel to Anfield to take on league leaders Liverpool on Sunday evening.

Despite Manchester United being in woeful form after three successive losses without scoring a goal, Marcus Rashford has not played since featuring in a 2-1 win over Viktoria Plzen on December 12

Manchester United rejected the opportunity to appoint Ruben Amorim just months before performing a U-turn and selecting him as Erik ten Hag 's successor, according to reports. Amorim was named head coach in November after the club's hierarchy finally pulled the trigger on sacking Ten Hag amid an abysmal start to the season.

The Portuguese head coach has been praised by the Old Trafford faithful for his response to drawing 2-2 at Anfield.
