The crisis is deep at Manchester United, beaten by Newcastle on Monday evening (0-2) and which is now in 14th place in the Premier League with only seven points ahead of the relegation zone.
The situation is serious for Manchester United, where the appointment of Ruben Amorim on the bench in place of Erik ten Hag has not resolved all of the Red Devils' problems. That's the least we can say as the former Sporting coach, for whom everything was smiling in Portugal, is unable to achieve positive results in the Premier League for the moment. Manchester United wants to give their new coach time for a long-term project, but the accounting situation is alarming. Fourteenth with only seven points ahead of Ipswich (18th), Manchester United will quickly have to redress the situation. But after the defeat against the Magpies on Monday evening, Ruben Amorim officially announced that his team was playing maintenance and nothing else this season. Difficult to make another speech given the current series (4 defeats in the last 5 matches).
Amorim recognizes that Manchester United are playing to maintain
“It’s very clear so we have to fight. It's a really difficult moment, one of the most difficult moments in Manchester United's history and we have to approach it with honesty. So we have to recognize our position, the way you see the championship, everyone can beat everyone. So we must commit and focus on survival. It's my fault too. The team is not improving, they are a bit lost at the moment and it is embarrassing to be the manager of Manchester United and lose a lot of games. This club needs a shock” announced the former Sporting coach, who had strong words and hopes for a revival of his team. Unfortunately for him, the schedule is unlikely to help him with a trip to Liverpool hell on Sunday afternoon.
