Ruben Amorim slams team after Man United-Everton, 'very frustrated' | OneFootball

Frustration was the word of the day at the end of Manchester United - Everton, a match that the Red Devils lost 1-0, despite having played with an extra man for most of the game. Ruben Amorim did not hide his dissatisfaction with his players at the end of the match - after having recently analyzed his time in the Premier League.

"They were the better team with 11 players and with 10. I felt we weren’t there with the same intensity. They deserved the win. The other team helped us with the sending off. We need to do [more] at all times. If they have 10, we have to press them up to the final third of the pitch. We need to do more," began the former Benfica man to BBC Sports.

Ruben Amorim continued, with more criticism: "Does it feel like a setback? Yes. Especially in the way we played. Forget the result. The result is really bad, but I was more concerned with the feeling I had during the game. Everyone should have played better today. What did I say to my players after the game? Nothing. We have training tomorrow. We’ll deal with it then."

"I’m very frustrated, like anyone else who supports Manchester United. The way we started the game, the way we didn’t understand how we should play against 10 men. They deserved to win. Even suffering with 10 men, that’s normal. We had many opportunities, but we lacked quality and decision-making. There was no understanding of all the situations in the game and then the quality near the box. But the most important thing is intensity. You can feel it right at the start of the game, in the first minute, when we’re at our maximum intensity and when we’re not. When we’re not, we can’t win like this," Ruben Amorim explained next, this time to Sky Sports.

The Manchester United coach concluded: "Surprised? Of course, but I’ve said on many occasions that I understand we have a lot to do. But I’m really frustrated with the way we played, especially at home, and understanding what happened this weekend with the other clubs, looking at the table and feeling everything. And the way we presented ourselves from the first minute is really frustrating. It’s more than a missed opportunity. We need to play differently. Sometimes we manage it, sometimes we have good runs of results and performances, but sometimes we fall short."
