Ruben Amorim confused about MU after defeat to Everton

MU lost to Everton at Old Trafford, even though the away team was down to 10 men from the 13th minute. Ruben Amorim spoke in confusion about the 'Red Devils' exactly 1 year after his debut.

The late match of round 12 of the Premier League , MU hosted Everton, marked exactly 1 year since the debut (1-1 draw with Ipswich) of captain Ruben Amorim, when he replaced Erik ten Hag in November 2024.

However, there were no congratulatory smiles, only extreme disappointment, humiliation and confusion of the people involved.

At home at Old Trafford early this morning (November 25), MU played with one more player from the 13th minute, after Idrissa Gueye was sent off for punching teammate Michael Keane in the face.

It was thought that the 'Red Devils' would extend their unbeaten streak, pocketing 3 points to squeeze into the top 5 of the Premier League. But no, Senne Lammens' net was shaken in the 29th minute, by a goal from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

And unfortunately for MU, that was the only goal of the match. Ruben Amorim's students did not have any real "reaction" to change the situation, ending the 5-match unbeaten streak.

The Portuguese coach was bitter after the final whistle: “ The result was very bad, but what I was more concerned about was how I felt throughout the match.

United did not play well as a team. We did not understand the situation on the pitch and just let it happen. And that is my biggest concern .”

Ruben Amorim’s pre-match anxiety – which he admitted haunted him by the return of bad days – was certainly evident: “ We really had no idea of ​​the situation on the pitch. We also had no danger in the box.

What was more significant was that MU lacked intensity, right from the start. I was really disappointed with the way we played, especially at home. How can we win playing like this? ”

The 40-year-old added: “ Over the past five weeks, people have praised the progress of Manchester United. But we still have a lot of work to do, a lot of things to fix. Manchester United are not at the level, or even close to it, to be able to compete in the top group of the Premier League. I have had that feeling since the beginning of the season and it still is. We need to be perfect to win, but the team has not done that yet .”
