Ahead of Manchester United’s visit to Arsenal, Ruben Amorim warns: ‘Storm will come’ | Football News
Despite an unbeaten start to his stint as the Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim has warned his players on the eve of the Premier League trip to Arsenal that ‘the storm will come’ and there will be difficult times ahead.
The 39-year-old has had a promising start to his tenure after taking over from Erik ten Hag last month, winning two games and drawing one. However, facing title contenders Arsenal at their home on Wednesday will be his toughest challenge yet.
“The storm will come,” Amorim said, according to the Guardian. “We are going to have difficult moments and we will be found out in some games. And I know that because I know my players and I know football and I follow football.”
Amorim’s United beat Everton 4-0 on Sunday with youngster Amad Diallo shining under the new manager. However, Amorim admitted the team faced a ‘lot of problems’ after they changed the way they were building up and that his team is at a ‘different point’ compared to Arsenal.
“I understand the difference between the teams and we are in the point in that we are putting simple things in the team, without training, and you feel it in game against Everton: they changed a little bit the way they were building up. They are a very good team, and we had a lot of problems because we cannot change it calling one thing to the captain. We don’t have this training, so let’s focus on each game, on the performance, what we have to improve, trying to win games.
“I know it’s really hard to be a Manchester United coach and say these things. We want to win all the time, no matter what, we are going to try to win, but we know we are at a different point, if compared to Arsenal. We go with confidence to win, but we know we need to play very well to win.”
