Ruben Amorim reportedly knew Manchester United players wouldn't win one game early in his tenure after 'watching how his players tied their laces' before the warm-up.

While the Old Trafford outfit are sixth in the Premier League, the 40-year-old is said to have previously aired his concerns that the club was already 'broken'.
