Amorim mocked for imitating Arteta and Ten Hag

Coach Amorim made a strong statement after the defeat

On the evening of August 17, the "Red Devils" fell 0-1 at Old Trafford due to a header from Riccardo Calafiori in the 13th minute. Newcomers like Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha failed to make an impression on the "Gunners" defense. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Altay Bayindir was harshly criticized by MU legend Roy Keane for his defensive mistake that led to the loss.

However, what shocked fans was that after the match, Amorim maintained a positive view of United's performance. The home team had more possession, launching 22 shots compared to Arsenal's 9. Based on that, Amorim declared that United were the better team - before emphasizing that his players "can win any game".

The Portuguese coach said eloquently: "We proved today that we can win any match in the Premier League, especially against a strong team like Arsenal."

"We were the better team. Our feeling was that we were superior. In the end, we lost, but I'm really proud of their effort and that's what's important moving forward. We were more aggressive than last year, ran more, were braver. I think the most important thing is that we weren't boring," Amorim stressed.

However, this statement immediately made fans laugh, comparing Amorim to a copy of coach Arteta. Last year, the Spanish strategist declared Arsenal as the "best team" in the Champions League, despite losing to PSG in the semi-finals and watching their opponents win the championship.

The Sun ran a series of fan comments after the match. One fan sarcastically said: “He’s learned his lesson from Mikel Arteta”. Another quipped: “How does losing prove you’ve won every game?” Someone else commented: “That’s exactly the kind of statement Erik ten Hag makes”. Another fan concluded: “The better team still lost?”
