In a recent Premier League match, Manchester United faced a disappointing 3-2 defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest, marking their second consecutive loss. Following the match, head coach Ruben Amorim took full responsibility for the team’s performance, stating, “It’s my fault”.
The match, played under challenging weather conditions due to Storm Darragh, saw United concede goals at crucial moments. Nikola Milenkovic scored early in the second minute from a corner, and Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood added to the tally in the second half. Despite efforts from Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes, United couldn’t recover.
Amorim acknowledged the team’s struggles, particularly in defending set-pieces, which has been a recurring issue. He emphasized the need for improvement and expressed his commitment to addressing these shortcomings. “We need more time to put positionings in,” Amorim said, highlighting the long journey ahead for the team.
The defeat leaves United in 13th place in the Premier League table, and Amorim is aware of the significant challenge he faces in turning the team’s fortunes around. Despite the setbacks, he remains optimistic about the team’s potential and the progress they can make with continued effort and focus.
As United fans look forward, the focus will be on how Amorim and his squad can build on their strengths and address their weaknesses to climb the table and compete for European qualification.
