Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim will hope to see his side return to winning ways when they face Chelsea on Saturday.
The Red Devils were beaten 3-0 by rivals Manchester City in the Manchester derby on Sunday, and United now sit 14th in the Premier League table having won just once in their opening four games.
As well as two league defeats, United have also been knocked out of the Carabao Cup at the second round stage at the hands of League Two side Grimsby Town.
Defeat in the derby against the Citizens on Sunday appears to have piled more pressure on Amorim, who has been in the role for less than a year.
According to GiveMeSport, however, the Portuguese retains the backing of those in charge of the club.

The report claims that Amorim still has the support of the Man United board, despite overseeing the club’s worst start to a season in more than three decades.
Since taking charge of the Red Devils in November last year, Amorim has overseen just eight wins from 31 Premier League matches.
More surprisingly, United sit bottom of the table of 17 teams that have been ever-present in the top flight since Amorim took charge of the club.
The 40-year-old had enjoyed huge success with Portuguese side Sporting CP during his spell in Lisbon, but he has struggled since arriving in England.
The report does claim, however, that United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe believes United’s current squad is capable of qualifying for the Champions League this term and, with that in mind, Amorim’s position could come under stronger scrutiny if they are on course to fall short of that at some point during the season.
