Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has stressed the importance of momentum as his side prepare to face Brentford on Saturday. Last weekend’s 2-1 win over Chelsea gives United the chance to record consecutive league victories for the first time in Amorim’s 32-game tenure.
Pushing for consecutive wins
Amorim revealed that the focus at Carrington this week has been on maintaining urgency. He admitted he has delivered the same message “everywhere” around the club, urging players to build on the Chelsea result.
The Portuguese coach believes the opening stages of matches set the tone and warned against a slow start. “If we as a team don’t understand the momentum now, we have a big problem,” he said. Amorim underlined the need for energy from the first whistle, describing Brentford away as a difficult but crucial opportunity.

Greater confidence in his squad
Reflecting on his early months at Old Trafford, Amorim said he often lacked clarity about how United would perform. That uncertainty, he explained, has lessened with time, as belief within the group has grown.
“I always have the feeling that we can win the next game and be dominant,” Amorim noted. He highlighted the improved mentality compared to last season, saying he now approaches big fixtures against clubs like City and Arsenal with genuine confidence that United can score and control key moments.
Author’s Opinion
United’s momentum push will be tested without Amad Diallo, absent on compassionate leave, while Noussair Mazraoui is sidelined and Casemiro remains suspended. Those gaps make this early kick-off more challenging.
Even so, Amorim’s focus on mentality and momentum feels timely. If United can finally stitch consecutive victories together, it would represent not just a statistical milestone but a psychological turning point. Consistency has long eluded this squad — Saturday offers them the clearest chance yet to change that narrative.
