In the early hours of September 21st, Man United defeated Chelsea 2-1 in the fifth round of the English Premier League.

Manchester United benefited early in the 5th minute when Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez received a direct red card. They quickly scored two goals in the first half through Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro. Although the Brazilian midfielder was also sent off after receiving a second yellow card, Man United still secured three points at home.

After the match, besides the result, Manchester United fans were even more impressed by the unusual appearance of manager Amorim compared to his usual self.

Many fans still remember the moment when the Portuguese manager, during a recent League Cup match against fourth-tier side Grimsby Town, couldn't handle the pressure of the penalty shootout.

He didn't dare watch his players take the penalty kicks, his face showing clear signs of anxiety and helplessness. That image showed that Coach Amorim seemed to be consumed by the tremendous pressure at the "Theatre of Dreams".

This "fear" has led to much criticism. Legends argue that he is not yet capable of leading a big club like Man United. The 40-year-old coach has also been criticized for his lack of connection with his players.

That passivity was also evident in many other matches, when he would often "sit stubbornly" in the coaching cabin with a gloomy expression, even when his team was trailing.

However, in the match against Chelsea, fans saw a completely different Amorim. Despite the torrential rain, he didn't sit still but constantly moved, going close to the touchline, even stepping outside the permitted area to shout instructions, direct, and inspire his players.

This wasn't just tactical instruction; it showed he was actually fighting alongside his players, not just sitting back. He was so worried that he even jumped up in anxiety.

That passionate energy was passed on to the players. Man United played bravely; they were no longer fragile and easily defeated as in previous matches.

These three points temporarily helped the Old Trafford team escape their crisis, giving them 7 points after five matches and moving them up to 10th place in the Premier League standings.

A single victory won't solve all of Manchester United's current problems. However, what they need now is genuine teamwork. And a "new" and passionate Ruben Amorim is exactly what the Red Devils need for the new season.
