Ruben Amorim, the Manchester United manager, spoke about his responsibility for the team’s recurring set-piece issues during their 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest, acknowledging that their early concession from a corner was his fault.
Ruben Amorim said “When this happens it’s more my fault, because I’m responsible.”
Amorim continued to discuss the difficulty of maintaining team morale when they conceded another goal early in the second half, highlighting the challenge of keeping players and fans motivated after such setbacks.
Ruben Amorim said “We try to do it the best way, we did a lot of work in this area because we saw it in Arsenal and it was really hard in this context. The beginning of the game, you suffer in the first play, it’s really hard then to put energy in the team but we managed to do it. We draw the game then the second half the same thing and you feel it in everybody, the fans, the players, it’s really hard to transmit something to continue to do your job.”
Amorim discussed Andre Onana’s performance, defending his goalkeeper despite Onana’s inability to stop a critical goal and suggesting that the team’s overall mistakes contributed to the outcome.
Ruben Amorim said “We lost the ball in one transition and then a lot of open space and in the end they score so all the team suffered that goal.”
Amorim further emphasized the need for team resilience, encouraging his players to work collectively to overcome mistakes made during matches.
Ruben Amorim said “Onana already saved us a lot of times so we have to find a way when this happens to Onana or to Ty (Malacia). We have to turn around and to score goals to help our goalkeeper the same way that he saved us in Ipswich.”
Ruben Amorim concluded with a collective call to perseverance, emphasizing the need for team improvement in all aspects following their sixth Premier League defeat.
Ruben Amorim said “We have to continue, we lose as a team, we have to improve in all aspects.”
