During Manchester United's game against Bournemouth, Lisandro Martinez had a chat with Andre Onana. Despite the unfortunate 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford on Sunday, Martinez remains positive about the team's performance. Under the new leadership of Ruben Amorim, the Red Devils have been struggling, and this loss adds to their difficult start. Bournemouth secured the win with goals from Dean Huijsen, Justin Kluivert, and Antoine Semenyo, leaving Manchester United in 13th place on the Premier League table. Out of 17 league matches played so far, they have only managed to secure six victories.
Martinez acknowledges that the team is doing many things right, but their lack of scoring and defensive mistakes have been costly. "In this kind of situation, we have to show our personality and character," the Argentine defender stated after the loss. "We played well, but unfortunately, we couldn't find the back of the net today. We have to keep believing and remember that at this club, we are expected to win every game." He also highlighted the need to improve on set-pieces, as they have been a weakness for the team.
The pressure and expectations at Manchester United are high, and Martinez understands the frustration of the fans. "We are the only ones who can change this situation," he said. "We know the importance of this club and the urgency to turn things around quickly. We have to work on our weaknesses and make the necessary changes."
Amorim, on the other hand, remains confident in the team's ability to succeed. "It's football, and we have to accept it," he said. "We are 100% confident that we will achieve success at this club. It's a process, and we win and lose as a team. The pressure is immense, but we thrive on it. I have faith in this group."
The scoreline may not have reflected the game, but Amorim admits that his team's failure to convert chances and poor defending from set-pieces were their downfall. "We had our chances, but we couldn't capitalize on them," he said. "Bournemouth managed to score, and that made the difference. But I believe we created many opportunities to score, and that's what matters."
Despite the disappointment, Amorim remains optimistic and motivated to continue working hard. "It's easier to pass on an idea when you're winning and scoring goals, but we have to be strong and persistent in our ideas, especially during the tough times," he stated. "We will keep pushing and aim for a win in our next game."
