Manchester United’s head coach Ruben Amorim remarked that to secure victories in the Premier League, his squad must exert themselves like relentless runners, or they won’t have any prospects of success.
“You cannot win the Premier League without a squad willing to run. It doesn’t matter if you assemble a starting eleven with the best talents globally; without effort, they won’t prevail. We must run like relentless athletes; otherwise, victory will elude us. The real question is, can they handle that level of exertion? If they acclimate to it during practice, it will translate to matches. They have room for improvement. While you can’t increase speed, you can certainly enhance endurance in training. They are professional athletes. Every coach employs a unique pressing strategy,” he stated prior to United’s clash with Nottingham Forest.
The Portuguese head coach also expressed that currently, United stands as a significant club, but not as a formidable team.
“This is quite evident. We are indeed a major club, but not necessarily a strong team. We acknowledge this, so there’s no issue in admitting it. We need to cultivate more belief. There are positive aspects, yet it’s clear we have considerable work ahead. We must enhance our performance in the final third,” he remarked.
“Our players need to recognize that they are in a challenging situation. We may not be the top team in the league, however, our history ranks the best in the league. We face challenges, but our focus must be on the finer details,” he continued.
Amorim has achieved two victories, one draw, and a single defeat since taking over as United manager last month, succeeding interim coach Ruud van Nistelrooy and Dutch manager Erik Ten Hag.
