'We cannot make definite judgement on Amorim until next season'

BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions.

Eddie asked: Ruben Amorim complaining his job is hard is laughable when everyone can see the problems. Does that comment show the start of him giving up?

Phil answered: It was a hard job to start with and injuries have made it worse. It also looks like he will have to sell to buy, which is a sign of things to come for him.

There is no denying, though, that Amorim has had a dreadful start with eight defeats in 12 games, and Manchester United are now in the bottom six.

There is no sign of any structure, while his preferred three-man central defensive system is clearly totally unsuited to the players he has at his disposal. Despite this, he shows no sign of adapting.

It may well be that the rest of this season is damage limitation for United - although let's not forget they still have the FA Cup and Europa League to go for - and we cannot make any sort of definite judgement on Amorim until next season.
