A "embarrassment" by Ruben Amorim has brought him into doubt about Manchester United's future as his side has another 2-0 family performance in Sunday's 2-0 victory over West Ham.
Three days after Manchester United entered the Europa League final, they were brought back to Earth by another low side of the hammer, with the London club winning its first game at Old Trafford since 2007.

Tomas Soucek and Jarrod Bowen scored in goals at United, once the undisputed king of British football, suffered their 17th loss in 36 league games this season, ranking 16th.
The latest boring display has angered Amorim, who has provided the team with public dressing several times since replacing the firing Erik's ten partners in November.
"The biggest concern for me is feeling 'it's okay', 'we can't change our position, so it's OK," Amorim said.
“This is the biggest problem in our club because we lose the feeling of a huge club, it’s the end of the world to lose a game at home.”

The 40-year-old Portuguese coach, who was in charge of Lisbon sports, added that it was "the most dangerous feeling you have in a big club" and that United has not won the Premier League title since 2013's prominent manager Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.
- 'Awkward' -
Amorim asked about the feeling of seeing his team so low in the Premier League: "How should the manager of Manchester United feel at this position - it's awkward and hard to accept."
He said the Europa League final with British struggling Tottenham Hotspurs was unable to spread Manchester United's family plight on May 21 in Bilbao.

"Everyone is thinking about the finals," Amorim said. "The finals are not a problem at this moment in our club. We have bigger thinking (about) that we have to change a lot of things at the end of the season."
Amorim, who has overseen six league wins since he won ten partners, said United “has a lot to change in the summer” and questioned his future if he can’t monitor significant improvements.
"I don't want to talk about players," Amorim said. "I'm talking about myself, the culture in the club and the culture in the team.
"We need to change that, we need to be really strong and brave in the summer because we won't have seasons like this. If we start like this, or if it feels still here, we should give space to different people."

For the Hammer, the victory ended the wait for eight games.
"The results were very pleasant, especially in the situations we experienced," said West Ham manager Graham Potter. "It's already been tough because the results aren't what we want.
“The performance isn’t that bad, but you know what it is like – if you don’t get results, you have to suffer in the Premier League and that’s what we have to do.”
