Journo discloses the three-word request muttered by Jason Wilcox after recent PL game, it speaks volumes on Amorim’s future

In the aftermath of Manchester United’s 2-1 win over Crystal Palace eight days ago, Jason Wilcox told the media in attendance at Selhurst Park to ‘trust the process’ as he made his way out of the stadium.The game saw Ruben Amorim’s United get back to winning ways at the earliest opportunity following their lacklustre defeat to Everton on November 24, which put an end to the side’s five-game unbeaten streak (three wins and two draws).How United are faring as of late(Photo by Carl Recine/Getty Images)However, the subsequent match saw United once again fail to capitalise on their rivals dropping points, as they squandered an opportunity to move amongst the top-five for the fourth time this season.The Reds were held to a 1-1 draw against West Ham at Old Trafford, and Amorim came under fire post-match for making four defensive changes when leading by a goal.Fans were disgruntled to see such a lack of ambition to try and protect such a narrow lead as opposed to chasing more goals. That, along with the fact that Kobbie Mainoo was left on the bench for the full 90 minutes, has seen the head coach fall in some supporters’ estimations.2025/2026 marks the first full term that Amorim has taken charge of from the off in the Old Trafford dugout. He is on the back of the club’s lowest-ever finish in Premier League history after they had slumped to 15th place upon the culmination of 2024/2025.Why pressure is heaped on Amorim this season(Photo by Richard Heathcote/Getty Images)Given there is no European football to account for and United were knocked out of the League Cup in just the second round, the pressure on Amorim to finish amongst the Champions League places has increased 10-fold.It’s also worth taking into account that over £200 million was shelled out to grant him his desired signings over the summer, so there’s really no excuse for failing to hit the targets set for him from now until May.Still, Wilcox’s three-word plea post-Palace (relayed by MailSport’s Chris Wheeler) suggests INEOS will continue to back the Portuguese even amidst the team’s fluctuating form.  A year on from Dan Ashworth’s messy sacking, how Man Utd have reshaped their recruitment to compete for top talent https://t.co/5bojoSjtr6 via @MailSport #mufc — Chris Wheeler (@ChrisWheelerDM) December 7, 2025
