He Manchester United is going through one of the most delicate moments in its history. The team’s terrible results are positioning it at the bottom of the Premier League and decline, something that was seen as a utopia in recent decades, is becoming a reality in Old Trafford. And not even the team coach, Reuben Amorimsees a hopeful future for the Red Devils: launched a worrying reflection on the near future of the institution.
“I think relegation is a possibility and we have to be clear with our fans. We have to change something, but this season will be very hard for everyone,” said the brand new Portuguese coach, who has played eleven games in the team, of which won four, lost six and drew one. They have had four consecutive defeats in their last matches: 4-3 vs. Tottenham, 0-3 vs. Bournemouth, 2-0 vs. Wolves y 0-2 vs. Newcastle.
“It’s a bit embarrassing to be United manager and lose so many games. It is one of the worst moments in the history of our club and we have to accept it. “It’s my fault,” he analyzed. Furthermore, he added: “The team is not improving and is a bit lost at the moment. It’s a really difficult moment, one of the most difficult moments in Manchester United’s history and we have to face it honestly. I am responsible. I don’t like coming here and making excuses. I think people are tired of excuses in this club.“.
Even though all the alarms are on, the Red Devils They still have plenty of room for the fight for the red zone of the table. Southampton (6), Leicester (14) e Ipswich Town (15) They are the ones who are currently in relegation positions, while the team that was champion of the English First Division on 20 occasions fourteenth march with 22 units.
Despite that, criticism rains down on him from all fronts, even from the institution’s historical footballers. “They are watching the worst football club in the country. “They are that bad”exploded Gary Neville about United’s present. The last time he was downgraded occurred in the 1973/74 season, something that was recorded in history since the Manchester City was his executioner. Previously, it had fallen from division in 1921/22 and 1930/31.
“You have to be very focused on your idea. If you start changing because of results, that’s the end for any coach. They hired me because of my idea. You can’t go back. You have to keep pushing. In total we have only had four training sessions. That’s important. I am here for my idea and I will continue doing my idea until the end. I think our club needs a change and we have to understand it. We have to recognize where we are, we have to win games and focus on surviving,” Amorim argued.
There are several problems for the institution and the possible departures of players who were relegated with the arrival of the coach from the Sporting Lisbon. The most brilliant name is that of Marcus Rashford. The winger became one of the most important men in recent years. Despite that, he was not called up in the last four games and is pushing to leave.
Another situation that causes resentment behind closed doors It is the constant leakage of the formations, something that remains a problem without a solution. Although initially accused Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnachoanother footballer who lost filming, his guilt was ruled out and the locker room officials are carrying out an exhaustive investigation to discover who is the one who reveals the teams.
And, as the most important focus, there are the financial problems that Manchester United would have if it were relegated to the Championship. With this desolate panorama, the Red Devils They will have to face the team that is in the best shape in all of Europe: the Liverpool de Arne Castlewho leads the Premier League with 45 points and has only lost one duel.
