Ruben Amorim on Forest v Man United: Happy with a draw? | OneFootball

Ruben Amorim remained optimistic despite the draw conceded at Nottingham Forest - Manchester United. The former Benfica player, who now manages the Red Devils, preferred to highlight the positives in his team after dropping points again in the Premier League, following three consecutive victories.

"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 to explain - who recently spoke about a possible dismissal.

The former Benfica coach continued about the Nottingham Forest - Manchester United match: "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 it, but we knew we weren't going to lose it. We lost 2 points here and should have done better."

"I think, in the last year, we suffered a lot. And we want to win games, we want to overcome 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 are 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," said Ruben Amorim.

To conclude, a question about whether his team would have lost this game last season: "Yes. By a greater goal difference. That's what I feel... It's about confidence, now it's completely different. We also came from three victories. We understand each other better, we talk more. And we've already proven this year that, despite bad moments, we can suddenly play three good games. And during the game, it's the same. We can be worse, then score, and in the 2nd half, in a few minutes, we concede."
