My MUFC Team Doesn’t Play Safe – Amorim

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has defended himself against criticism that he does not take enough risks with his team. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, MUFC are one of the most attacking teams in the Premier League this season, and the fact that Manchester United has the third highest amount of goals in the EPL is proof.

Amorim added that it is unfortunate timing that Bruno Fernandes’ longest injury spell in his six years at the club coincided with Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo being at the Africa Cup of Nations.

His words, “The first thing is that we are creating and scoring more than most of the teams.

That is a point. Then I understand the team better than anyone. And sometimes you have the supporters on [questioning] your decisions. Sometimes you have to do what you think and sometimes it’s hard for them to understand. But I know when I look at the pitch, I can understand which player is tired, which player is going to struggle a lot if there is one against one all the time. And I just try to protect the team and just try to win games.

And sometimes it’s the best substitution, sometimes it’s the wrong substitution. But I just try to do my best. I think there is one team [sic] that scores more goals than us. We create a lot. We have more shots than anyone. So if we have something here completely different from last year, it’s the way we attack. I think we need to improve the way we defend.”

On missing players, “I don’t like to talk about that. But it sounds like an excuse. It was bad luck to lose Amad, Bryan, especially, and Bruno at the same time. They had more creation in the opportunities than the rest of the team. If you lose the three of them at the same time, any team in the world will struggle. And now Mount. But I’m not talking about everyone. I’m just focusing on the three guys that we have all the data, you have all the data, and you can sense that three guys create most of the chances for us.

And if you lose not one, but all three at the same time, of course we are going to struggle. Then you have to put set pieces in that. Who is kicking the set pieces? Amad, Bryan and Bruno. So everything is combined and we just need to acknowledge it. And it’s getting closer to have all these three players [back]. The important thing is to understand why we struggled in the last three games in creation and quality in the game. So I think it’s clear.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
