Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim expressed his deep disappointment after his team’s 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford. The loss marked United’s second successive defeat, following a 2-0 setback against Arsenal earlier in the week. Amorim described the game as “really tough,” emphasizing that early and poorly timed goals conceded made it difficult for the team to recover. Despite fighting back with goals from Rasmus Højlund and Bruno Fernandes, United fell short.
Amorim highlighted the challenges the team faced, particularly in set-piece defending, a recurring issue despite targeted training efforts. He noted that conceding from corners and defensive lapses undermined the team’s confidence and performance. While the players showed determination and “more heart than quality,” the coach acknowledged the need for further improvement in both tactics and execution.
Reflecting on the larger picture, Amorim called for patience and expressed his conviction in the team’s ability to turn things around. “We’re in a long journey and we’re going to do it,” he stated, vowing to focus on step-by-step progress. He also mentioned that juggling a congested fixture list, including upcoming matches in the Europa League and a derby against Manchester City, presents additional challenges.
Despite the setbacks, Amorim remained optimistic, insisting that consistent effort and belief in their approach would eventually yield results. However, he recognized the frustration of fans eager for victories, emphasizing the importance of maintaining composure and a clear direction in overcoming this challenging phase.
