Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted his team were not good enough to defend set pieces, which led to an early goal, and defended goalkeeper Andre Onana after they were beaten 3-2 at
home by Nottingham Forest. The Red Devils had just lost 2-0 to Arsenal, conceding two goals from corners, and in Saturday’s home game, less than two minutes into the game, the same thing happened. This time, Nikola Milenkovic, the Forest center, headed the lead. “It’s
more like my fault. I am the one who takes responsibility. สมัคร ufabet We worked hard on this after the Arsenal game,” Amorim was interviewed at Old Trafford.
“In this game, we had problems from the first moment. We had difficulty regaining energy for the team. We managed to equalize 1-1, but in the second half, we encountered the same situation again.
“It was difficult to communicate to the players to stay calm and keep working. We scored another goal, but after that, it was like we played with our hearts. Without much quality,”
Rasmus Hojlund equalised for United but early in the second half they conceded another quick goal, this time Onana unable to keep out Morgan Gibbs-White’s effort from outside the box.
Amorim was asked why: “We lost the ball in the transition from defence to attack and then the space opened up. We conceded goals in situations where every team has problems.
“Onana saved us a few times like he did at Ipswich. When that happens we have to try to score goals to help our goalkeeper.”
The result means United have lost two straight games and are dropped to 13th place, but Amorim remains optimistic after the experience at his former club:
“We lost as a team. We have to move on and improve in all aspects. I had a worse time at the beginning with Sporting Lisbon. “
Although Manchester United were the club with more interest, for me it’s the same feeling. It’s the same thing that happens with many teams. “
We knew it would be a long road. We need time to be on this road. And We have to keep doing the same thing to improve because that will help us turn the situation around.”
