Let it be said: As a Manchester United manager, everything that crawls and goes in the English media is out to knock you over. Ruben Amorim knows this, of course, but the Portuguese has still fallen into most of the traps in front of the microphone. After the Brighton game, it took a toll on a TV screen in the dressing room, at the press conference a devastated Amorim that this is “the worst Manchester United team of all time”. Here you go.
This was said in connection with Amorim’s statement “I’ll give you a headline”. Regardless of the motivation for the “worst of all time” label, this was of course twisted to the fact that the United players are the worst in the club’s history.
Quite a pep talk to the players for the next match!
Before the Rangers game on Thursday, Amorim tried to explain he was misinterpreted.
“I talked more about myself than about my players, because it’s hard to find a coach who has lost seven games in his first ten. It was more about me. I’m frustrated sometimes and I shouldn’t say things like that, but it is what it is,” the United manager said, according to BBC Sport
“Sometimes it’s very difficult to hide your frustration. “The good thing is that I said the same things in the dressing room five minutes before,” says Amorim.
Then we will see how it is with the confidence of the United players against Rangers in what was still not the worst in club history,
We remember well when Jose Mourinho started to glide grumpily as United manager and slang the snappy messages about individual players, the squad, the club owners and the English weather. The Portuguese spent the next press conference often explaining what “he really meant”. Last week, Ruben Amorim fell into the same trap, we hope he has learned.
