Manchester United travel to the capital to face Crystal Palace in the Premier League, with Ruben Amorim once again under pressure following a farcical defeat to Everton last time out.
The Red Devils lost 1-0 to the Toffees on Monday despite the visitors receiving a 13th-minute red card after a ridiculous slap from Idrissa Gueye on teammate Michael Keane, with the insipid performance drawing plenty of criticism.
And it means Amorim is once again under scrutiny in the Old Trafford hotseat, though it doesn’t get any easier this weekend as they face an in-form Palace side who have won four of their last six in all competitions.
Oliver Glasner’s side had risen to fifth in the Premier League ahead of this weekend, and with the Eagles looking to launch their own challenge for the European places, the pressure could soon be building on Amorim once more this weekend.
Amorim underscored the relentless pressure at Old Trafford, stating: "In our club it’s the same thing because last year we had to win every game all the time. We took a lot of things, a lot of criticism because we were not winning, so in our club there is no excuses."
