According to The Guardian, there's a growing sentiment within the club that the coach might resign if results don't improve soon.

Amorim is facing intense pressure following the team's exit from the League Cup via a penalty shootout against Grimsby, marking the first time United has lost to a fourth-division side in this competition. This setback means the Red Devils are still without a win this season, having fallen to Arsenal and drawn with Fulham in the league.

The club reportedly has no immediate plans to dismiss Amorim, but concerns persist that his stubbornness and reluctance to adapt his methods could lead him to step down. After the Grimsby defeat, he stated that 'something needs to change' within the squad. Yet, insiders believe he's deeply committed to his successful 3-4-3 formation from his Sporting days. There's also surprise at his interpersonal style, which players describe as amicable but occasionally ineffective.
