Two wins in eight Premier League games. This is 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. It is therefore disturbing to hear the United manager describe a condition of some players in the team.

Footballers are also human, which is easy to forget, but those who choose to put on the Manchester United shirt know very well that peace of mind does not exist. Ruben Amorim has seen that players in the United squad are unable to perform at their best, simply because they are nervous.

“They’re nervous, and sometimes they’re also scared when they’re on the pitch. We have to deal with that. We need leaders who take responsibility and help the rest of the team, but I’m the one who has the most responsibility for the team starting to play better,” Amorim begins, according to the BBC.

“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 explains.

Ruben Amorim gives a status report that does not exactly reassure Man Utd supporters about the results this season.
