Old Trafford was full of fans hoping for sustained success following their side’s 3-1 win over Amad Diallo-led Southampton, a PL win that followed a draw at Liverpool and an FA Cup defeat to Arsenal in the Emirates.
Instead, the three-man back line was undone within five minutes and United could only score via a penalty before Brighton found two goals in the second half to claim a third successive victory at Old Trafford.
Amorim’s response to André Onana’s poor play on the third goal was of particular interest to many, but the real story may be the absolute lack of cutting edge inside the opponent’s box, where only Amad Diallo a constant threat.
Ruben Amorim’s reaction: “I’m really sorry that the fans are suffering”
“Another defeat at home and it’s not acceptable. We suffered the goals. We can play a little football but over short periods of time, so it’s not consistent. We get nervous and then you suffer a goal. At first we had a piece that clearly fits what they’re doing and then it’s really hard to turn it around. We’re getting really anxious, really nervous, and they were getting even better.
On Onana’s mistake for the third goal: “You felt it in the stadium but we can’t finish the match like that either, not everyone is in position so we have to finish the match in a different way. Whatever the result, we have to be a different team in every way.
United’s play after the 3-1 score: “They were comfortable. We tried, but not with very good football. You can watch this game and you remember Bournemouth, you can remember Nottingham. We were in the match and then we suffered goals that we couldn’t cope with and it’s really hard for everyone. We lost again, at home. This is not acceptable and we need to change this and change this quickly. »
Is it going to take time? “It’s clear to me because I’m not going to change the way I see the game. I’m very clear on that. The players will suffer. I’m really sorry that the fans will suffer. I have a way of doing things that I know will get results, but we have to survive this moment. So what we are going to do is very clear to everyone.
