That is now four defeats in the last five Premier League games for United with no new manager bounce in sight.
Amorim will hope for a result against Newcastle United on Monday night before turning his attention to the January transfer window.
United splashed more than £180m on signings over the summer though and that may leave the January budget a little tight.
Amorim may be forced to wait until the summer for big recruits but he may be keen to reunite with some former stars.
Nuno Mendes to Manchester United latest
Amorim enjoyed great success at Sporting and may want to reunite with some key players from his time in Lisbon.
Nuno Mendes fits the bill after the now-Paris Saint-Germain left back broke through at Sporting under Amorim.
Reports in France suggest that United have now made an offer to Mendes – and it may just turn his head and tempt him away from PSG.
Mendes is out of contract at the end of next season, meaning is now set to enter the final 18 months of his PSG deal.
Mendes has stalled on a new contract and if PSG can’t tempt him into signing on, United may well be able to convince PSG into selling before Mendes walks away in 2026.
