Ruben Amorim: I Won’t Have Much Time To Fix Man United’s Problems

‎Ruben Amorim has stated that he won’t be afforded much time to improve Manchester United’s performance after his team suffered another defeat, this time against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.

‎Former United forward Anthony Elanga’s fine early goal earned Forest a comfortable win at the City Ground, with the visitors slipping to their 13th defeat of the season in the Premier League.

‎Tuesday’s loss leaves United just one defeat shy of equaling their record of 14 Premier League losses in the 2023-24 season. They now sit in 13th place, with Amorim struggling to effect any meaningful change.

‎”In Manchester United, you don’t have the time,” Amorim said.

‎”I will not have the time. We have to get it right fast.

‎”In here, the pressure is too big sometimes. We start the game suffering a goal and put Nottingham in the place they want to be defending with lots of men then they have really fast players to make transitions.

‎”Even with that, we controlled the game quite well, especially in the second half. We push forward but again, in the final third, we were not good enough.”

‎Alejandro Garnacho was especially wasteful in attack for United, finishing the match having had six of United’s 24 shots at goal, without really testing Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels.

‎Amorim has defended the young Argentine in the past and again insisted Garnacho’s overall efforts are of the standard required.

‎”He is making everything,” Amorim added.

‎”He’s trying. Sometimes, you have one day that you are doing the right things, but in the final third, you are not that good; that can happen.

‎”The most important thing for me is that when he needs to run back, he is running back. Of course, we want a player that has one against one. Sometimes he is trying too much.

‎”I think he wants to help the team to do his best, sometimes he doesn’t make the best choice, but you cannot point to any player today.”
