Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted to facing challenges as the Red Devils fall to 15th in the Premier League following a defeat to Tottenham.
Amorim’s team struggled to score against Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham, resulting in a 1-0 loss with James Maddison scoring the winning goal in the 13th minute.
The Red Devils have dropped to 15th place in the league, one spot lower than where they were before Amorim took charge.
The Portuguese coach has acknowledged that “everything is going wrong” during his time at United, especially as the team is dealing with an injury crisis that has left 12 first-team players unavailable for matches.
Speaking to the media, Amorim said: “I was always asking for one week [to prepare for a game] and in that one week we lost players. It is a moment when everything is going wrong. At the beginning of the week, we had a squad with time to train, then day by day we lost players. I don’t want to use that as an excuse. Every coach in the world has problems with that. We have to face the challenge.
“Of course [I am frustrated], for me and our fans. But we need to stop focusing on the big picture. Now is not the moment to do that. We just need to focus on the next game, do everything to win some games to finish the season.
“What you see, guys, and what you discuss every week, I also see. I have a lot of problems, my job is so, so hard here. But I stick with my beliefs. You grow and you learn a lot of things. We just need to face it and not run away, that is my feeling. Today will hurt, it is a tough pain to lose so many games, but then you can change things in a week.”
