Ruben Amorim on Manchester United's 2-0 win against Arsenal in the Premier League
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim shared his thoughts after his squad was defeated 2-0 by Arsenal in the Premier League. The Portuguese manager was appointed by the Red Devils in November following the dismissal of Erik ten Hag.
This loss against Arsenal marked to be Ruben Amorim's first defeat since taking charge at Old Trafford. Following the Premier League clash, the former Sporting CP manager mentioned that his squad require more training sessions and said (GOAL):
"Tough game. We tried to play our game, especially in the first half. We need more trainings. The set pieces change everything, change the momentum. It was really hard for them. We tried, but we had two set pieces and didn’t score. They scored."
Ruben Amorim further highlighted the importance of set pieces and said:
"We have to understand that they have years of doing that [set pieces]. Even when you are here for so long, you can see how their set-pieces can change that. We tried to defend them in the space of two days to train."
"I learned that we are smart when we have the strategy. We are finding the way to press and the way to block. We will be better in time. We have to improve in every minute. We have to use every minute to try to improve and fight for the games," added the Red Devils boss.
Manchester United maintained a ball possession of 49% against Arsenal while having two shots on target.
