Amorim warns of problems in his side after Man United draw | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim, former Sporting coach, did not have a happy night at Old Trafford. Manchester United was unable to go beyond a one-all draw at home against West Ham. Diogo Dalot scored the only goal for the Red Devils and, at the end of the match, the Portuguese manager identified the reasons for the drop in performance.

“We had good moments and lost a bit of control after the goal. We should have closed out the game after going 1-0 up. The match was under control, we knew that. Set pieces can be a problem. We lost second balls, they were winning the duels. We have to control these types of games,” Ruben Amorim began by explaining in his analysis of the match.

“We should have been better with the ball after the goal. When we were on our winning streak, we were perfect. We weren’t, we were inconsistent. In the 83rd minute, the goal comes from one of our long balls, we had everything under control. There are second halves where we lose control,” added the former Sporting coach, referring to the equalizer conceded near the end of the match.

“For the goal, we lost some second balls. We tried to defend away from the ball because we knew that, with a cross, they could win a corner. We have to be better in the second halves. We’re losing because of second balls. Sometimes there’s no one up front to win the ball,” concluded Ruben Amorim.

With this result, Manchester United remains in eighth place in the Premier League with 22 points, already far behind leaders Arsenal, who have 33. In the next round, scheduled for December 8, Ruben Amorim’s team will visit Wolverhampton.
