Are Man Utd showing any signs of progress under Amorim?

"Manchester United's slow start to the season has increased the pressure on head coach Ruben Amorim, who has won only 25.8% of his Premier League games in charge. The Reds have just two victories from their past 13 top-flight matches and produced another lacklustre display in Sunday's 3-0 loss to neighbours Manchester City. Despite the growing external unease around Amorim, not helped by the derby defeat, senior officials remain fully supportive of the Portuguese. And club sources insist that on most statistics United are performing better than last season despite sitting in 14th place, after their poorest start to a league campaign since 1992-93 with four points from the opening four games."

"Some of their underlying stats do actually reveal a modest improvement in the past six months but this has often been undermined by issues in both boxes. Since the start of March, United have scored nine fewer goals than would be anticipated based on the quality of chances they create (their expected goals figure, excluding penalties) and conceded 3.4 more, figures indicative of wasteful finishing and uncertain goalkeeping."

Ruben Amorim has won only 25.8% of his Premier League games in charge, with two victories from his past 13 top-flight matches and a 3-0 derby loss to Manchester City. Senior officials remain fully supportive, and club sources report that many statistics are better than last season even though United sit 14th after the poorest league start since 1992-93 with four points from four games. Underlying data show modest improvement over six months but problems persist in both boxes. Since March, United have scored nine fewer goals than expected (excluding penalties) and conceded 3.4 more, reflecting wasteful finishing and uncertain goalkeeping, and only 13 points have been earned in that period despite a respectable non-penalty expected goal difference.
