Ruben Amorim informed the Manchester United players and
the fans that they may still have to endure it until the end of the season.
United lost 3-1 to Brighton Hove Albion, their sixth league home defeat of the campaign and their fourth when Amorim was in charge
The Portuguese coach spared neither criticism in post-match media sessions,
claiming that this United brand of players is the most inept in the 147-year history of the club. He more specifically cautioned that even further suffering will surely come for all of us,
and stated as well that he will not change his views and practice to bring about a change.
“That is clear for me. With me, it’s obvious that I cannot change the way I perceive the game,” Amorim replied when asked to explain whether it was an appropriate moment for things to change. “I’m very clear on that. Players will get hurt and fans will get hurt. I’m so sorry, but that’s all I know.
We now have to get by—and it is quite obvious what the right thing to do is, for everyone. I’ve explained this situation. I will now play “the way I play” as that was an experiment. Likewise I, I was also not shy telling everyone what was going on around me, especially the (and by itself) fans “the fans”, the management, and the rest of it.
Andre Onana made a blatantly obvious mistake to allow Brighton’s third goal to go through/James Gill-Danehouse/GettyImages.
“They knew what to expect with me. On the other hand, to extract it is not correct, no extraction is permitted to degenerate too many some [of them]. Having won four out of five home matches is very challenging for any team. Once we are Manchester United, we have to be better. “.
Amorim’s honesty led him to admit that United “have to be a different team” if they are to make any progress, with the former Sporting CP boss conceding that things were far too easy a Brighton side who are now just four points away from the Premier League’s top four.
The Road Ahead
“You have to understand the moment but understand also that it is not to lose so many games in the Premier League, no matter the situation. No matter the moment. It should not happen,” Ruben Amorim said.
They were loose and unrestraint and we played “pretend” with a reasonably bad ball. You can see this game and remember nothing. It is also not possible to play with a desirable completion in this way, where the participants on the blackboard are turned away, etc. That is, we need the game in order to complete it in a different way. Win or lose, we are a different team,” etc.
