Ruben Amorim cut down by Manchester United player: it got to me a bit | OneFootball

Patrick Dorgu has spoken again about an episode that marked his time at Manchester United, involving public comments by Ruben Amorim that did not go unnoticed. The left-back recalled the Portuguese coach’s words, who said in November: "You can feel the anxiety every time Patrick touches the ball. He scored a great goal against Scotland, and the decision he made under pressure was completely different from the one he makes in our team. I think it’s a matter of decision-making, he needs to be calmer when he plays". Dorgu admitted that those remarks had a direct impact.

"It affected me a little when Amorim said that because when the coach speaks badly about you, it will always affect you a little. I just tried to take it in the best way possible and improve my game. Even before he was sacked, in the last few matches, I started to find my rhythm," he revealed in an interview with The Telegraph.

The player also explained the process of rebuilding his confidence. "I had a good spell. I just had to carry that confidence into the periods under Darren Fletcher and Michael Carrick. I just tried to play with a bit more confidence and express myself on the pitch", he said.

Finally, he offered a clear reflection on the episode. "I don’t think that was the word he meant to use. Anxious? I don’t think so. I think I lacked confidence and the team was not going through a good moment. I don’t understand how I can play well in one team and badly in the other and suddenly be anxious", he concluded.
