Ruben Amorim upbeat after Forest draw with Man United: confidence | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim highlighted the positives from the draw between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United. The former Sporting coach saw his team concede a draw away from home in the Premier League, but at the end of the match he remained optimistic, recalling the last season of the red devils.

"I think we lost control of the game for 5 minutes and paid the price. We did some things well. Our energy levels dropped a bit and, when that happens, it’s noticeable. We played well, but not with full strength," Ruben Amorim began – who is said to be interested in a Sporting starter.

The Portuguese coach continued his analysis of Nottingham Forest - Manchester United: "I feel that the players really tried, not just over the weekend, but also today. In the past, if we conceded two goals in 5 minutes, we wouldn’t have been able to recover. Today we did. We didn’t win, but we knew we weren’t going to lose. We dropped 2 points here and we should have done better."

"I think that, last year, we suffered a lot. And we want to win games, we want to get past those moments. And now we know how to do it. We just need to stay in the game until the last 10 minutes. In the past, almost everything went wrong. Now, that’s not the feeling. I think we’re improving in that aspect. We did some things well. And the good thing is that we have the potential to do much better. That’s the goal," added Ruben Amorim.

Finally, he was asked whether his team would have lost this game last season: "Yes. By a bigger goal difference. That’s how I feel... It’s about confidence, now it’s completely different. We were also coming off three wins. We understand each other better, we talk more. And we’ve already proven this year that, despite the bad moments, we can suddenly play three good games. And, during the match, it’s the same. We might be worse, then score, and in the second half, in just a few minutes, we concede."
