Two wins in eight Premier League games. This was United under Ruben Amorim before the Liverpool game. The Portuguese said from the first game that it was going to be chaotic, where he had to make changes from the start so as not to drag the problems the club has into next season. The problem is that next season could end in the Championship if this continues.
Two days before the fight, Amorim gave a somewhat disturbing status report.
“They’re nervous, and sometimes they’re also scared when they’re on the pitch. We have to deal with that… You can see that the players are trying, but they are sometimes too nervous or scared to play football because we are in a tough place,” the United manager said.
On Sunday, in a completely disgusting English winter weather, the nervousness was removed. The fear of making mistakes was replaced by a never-give-up mentality at Anfield. In September, Liverpool played their way to a 0-3 win at Old Trafford, this time Manchester United battled with Ruben Amorim on the sidelines to share the points, after equalising to make it 2-2 ten minutes before the end.
Much thanks to the fact that the biggest weakness of United players with visible nervousness on the pitch and outright fear of not delivering did not let go.
Although Manchester United needed victories, this was a great coaching achievement by Ruben Amorim.
