The Red Devils are in the midst of another dire season and the appointment of the Portuguese head coach has so far done little to change the club's position in the Premier League table.

Although Amorim is a popular figure with supporters, league results have left a lot to be desired. Crystal Palace - who didn't win a game until late October - jumped above Man Utd in the standings after beating them 2-0 at Old Trafford, with the Manchester outfit languishing in 13th.

Amorim's men followed up on that result with a scrappy and controversial 2-1 victory over Leicester in the FA Cup, but the performance again illustrated that Man Utd's place in mid-table no man's land is well deserved and not simply unfortunate.

Dalot: Man Utd can win the Premier League under Amorim

Nevertheless, defender Diogo Dalot believes that Man Utd can win the Premier League under the 40-year-old tactician if the given time and the right 'environment.'

"If you want me to be completely honest, with this manager, I think we can win a Premier League," Dalot told Man Utd's Local Supporters' Club. "I think realistically we can win. But then it becomes the most difficult thing to hear as a fan: that it will take time.

"I understand. I'm a player but, at the same time, I know what you feel. I know that this club is thirsty to win and everybody wants to win. We're not talking about cups – I know that is important, to win trophies – but what brought this club to what it is is big trophies.

"I think we can win a Premier League with this manager, but at the same time, we need to create an environment where he has everything set for what he wants from the players. We need to also adapt to the system. It will take some time.

"Obviously we cannot think too much ahead, but I'm really convinced that the way he conducts himself, the way that he communicates with players, the idea that he has... we can do it.

"Now it becomes the most difficult part, but being really honest and positive about it, I think we can win big trophies with this manager."
