Did firing Amorelin make Manchester United worse? FA Cup exit in the first round, no wins in two games after the coaching change

At 00:30 on January 12th Beijing time, in the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester United played Brighton at home.

In the first half, Dalot missed a clear chance, Gruda broke the deadlock, Lamens nearly gifted a goal from the back causing a concession, and Manchester United trailed 0-1 at halftime; in the second half, Welbeck blasted a goal against his former club, Sheshko scored a header to pull one back, and young substitute Lacy vented frustration by smashing the ball at the 90th minute, earning a yellow card, which turned into a red after a second booking.

In the end, Manchester United lost 1-2 to Brighton, exiting the FA Cup in the first round (the third round for Premier League teams), missing out on the last 32!

Manchester United vs Brighton,Fletcher lined up a 4-2-3-1 formation with Sheshko upfront, Bruno Fernandes behind him, Mount and Cunha on the wings, Ugat and Meno as defensive midfielders, Dalot, Joro, Lima, and Dorgu forming the back four, and Lamens in goal; the starting lineup’s market value was €445 million.Meanwhile, Helzer also deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Welbeck leading the attack against his former team; Brighton’s starting eleven had a total market value of €174 million.

Manchester United dominated possession, shots, and shots on target at home but failed to convert chances and ended up losing. United held 60% possession, took 19 shots with 8 on target; Brighton had 13 shots with 4 on target.

Manchester United’s 1-2 defeat to Brighton ended their FA Cup run embarrassingly. After sacking Amorelin at a high cost, Fletcher took over temporarily but failed to win in two matches. This proves that Manchester United’s problems are not just about the coach. Without Amorelin, the team played even worse, in disarray. Under such circumstances, no coach can fix the club because the leadership is flawed. Changing managers and players only treats symptoms, not the root cause. Over the years, Manchester United fans have suffered the most, with no hope left; Old Trafford has become a black hole for coaches and stars alike!
