Another defeat, this time at Man City, leaves United struggling in 14th place in the Premier League table with only one win from the first four games of the season.
The pressure is on Ruben Amorim to improve on last season, but it's not looking any better.
"I want to be as supportive and positive as I can be on the manager and the players," said former United and England man, Wayne Rooney.
"But it is very difficult to sit here and say we are seeing progression, and at least we're seeing things that will get results in the near future.
"We're seeing none of that, and it is very difficult. There was an image towards the end of the game where I saw the Manchester United fans leaving.
"You could hear the fans singing Amorim's name, but I think that is so powerful that the United fans were leaving the game.
"You know the game is over and I think they were very disappointed in what they were seeing. It is hard to see how it continues.
