Tonight, Ruben Amorim will face his first huge shock as Manchester United manager. Since taking charge of the team after the international break in November, the Portuguese technician first scored against Ipswich Town (1-1) before stringing together two very promising successes against Bodo Glimt in the Europa League ( 3-2) then against Everton 4-0 at Old Trafford having enjoyed the spectacle. But this evening, the Red Devils travel to Arsenal for a classic of the English championship. And despite the current good dynamic, the former Sporting player wanted to calm everyone down by sending a strong message.
“The storm will come”
At a press conference, he said: “I would like to say something else, but I must repeat it: the storm will come. We will go through complicated times and we will be put in difficulty during certain matches. I know because I know my players, I know football and I follow football. I know it's very difficult to be Manchester United manager and say these things. We always want to win, no matter the circumstances, but we know we are at a different stage compared to Arsenal“, he first explained, a way of shifting the pressure on the Gunners.
In addition, he was particularly complimentary towards his counterpart Mikel Arteta, praising the work that the Spaniard has been carrying out in London for several years: “What he does at Arsenal, I find it incredible. He transformed the team. But we have to recognize that Manchester United are a little different. All the attention, all the time. So I know that sometimes it's not possible to have all that time. We will therefore try to do things a little more quickly, knowing that here there is enormous attention and constant judgment on a daily basis.“. The shock is on!
