Jamie Jackson on The Ruben Show
A first United defeat by League Two opposition in the second‑tier cup competition will always be a big deal. But zoom out a smidgeon and the wider picture in the bread and butter of the league was two matches played and a point taken (not great but also no seismic disaster) and United motor across town for Sunday’s 197th derby with four points, one more than Pep Guardiola’s garlanded Manchester City, who are winless since the opening day.
So is it reasonable to consider Amorim’s position under threat three league games into a season? Certifiably not. Is this simply life for the gent in the hottest of football seats? Certainly.
Truman Show echoes at Manchester United mean Amorim must be afforded missteps

Man Utd make four changes, three because of injury. Diogo Dalot, Matheus Cunha and Mason Mount are all unavailable; Casemiro’s ageing legs are deemed unsuitable for this particular challenge.
The replacements are Patrick Dorgu, Noussai Mazraoui, Manuel Ugarte – and Benjamin Sesko, who makes his full Premier League debut.

Our transfer window doesn’t slam shut
From cold rainy nights in Stoke to proper cup-tie atmospheres … we’ve got football covered. Without a cliche in sight.
The Guardian covers the football stories that matter every day of the week with live match blogs, match reports, expert analysis and our unmissable Football Weekly podcasts.
Importantly, we also dig into the ugly side of the beautiful game – issues such as sportswashing, abuse and corruption.
We don’t accept money from gambling companies so you won’t read our coverage while being hassled to make a bet on the result.
But that does mean that we rely on readers like you to get behind our team.
If you appreciate our football coverage, and think it’s worth paying a small amount for, please consider making your own transfer today.

Jonathan Wilson on Pep Guardiola’s place in a changing world
The environment is akin to England after the reliance on W-M and the winger was shattered by Hungary in 1953, or 19th-century Europe after scientific discoveries had provoked the crisis of faith. If none of the previous assumptions are true, if we cannot trust the old doctrine, how do we know what is right?
This is the world that produced Charles Darwin and Friedrich Nietzsche and had Arthur Conan Doyle attending seances and believing in fairies, just as managers in the 50s started trialling strike pairings and back fours and had the Doncaster manager Peter Doherty assigning players with random numbers to spread confusion. Nobody knows what is true any more, and the consequence is a chaotic world of experimentation.
The age of Guardiola is waning and the game’s guru is baffled by what comes next

Preamble
It’s 3 February 1990. No really, folks, it is! FW de Klerk has just announced plans to release Nelson Mandela from prison; Mike Tyson is a week away from pummelling Buster Douglas; Tears on my Pillow, Kylie Minogue’s epic meditation on love, loss and secretion from the lachrymal glands, is being kept off top spot by some Prince knock-off.
And the Manchester derby is taking place at Old Trafford. Seventh-place United and 14th-place City draw 1-1 in a lively contest, with Clayton Blackmore’s excellent goal cancelled out by a screamer from Ian Brightwell.
That was the last time the Manchester derby took place with both teams in the bottom half of the table*. Today’s game is 16th v 11th and, though there are some simple reasons for that – it’s early in the season, they’ve played a game fewer than most of the teams above them – it’s also a reflection of the reduced status of both clubs.
City have lost two of the first three games and the word on the street is that Pep Guardiola is yesterday’s visionary; United are United. To judge a team after a handful of games is absurd, reductive, infantile, pathetic; it’s also the norm.
Woe betide whoever loses today.
Kick off 4.30pm.
