Ruben Amorim's Manchester United team suffered a disappointing loss to Tottenham over the weekend. After the game, Amorim received some tough feedback about the quality of his players, with one of them being deemed not up to par for a club like Manchester United.
The defeat marked another setback for United under Amorim's leadership, making it their 12th loss in the Premier League this season. They also dropped down to 15th place in the league table, falling behind even a struggling Everton side who recently sacked their manager.
Former Premier League player Clinton Morrison was not impressed with United's performance against Tottenham, particularly with their £36.5m signing Joshua Zirkzee. Despite starting in the game, Zirkzee failed to make a significant impact and even missed a crucial chance to score.
Morrison stated, "I'm not trying to be rude, but some of these players who wear the United shirt simply aren't at the caliber of Manchester United. Zirkzee's performance was quite poor."
The only goal of the match was scored by James Maddison, securing the win for Spurs. Morrison praised the team for their victory, noting that United's substitute player Alejandro Garnacho was their most lively player on the pitch. He also mentioned that Amorim is dealing with multiple injuries and is eagerly anticipating the summer transfer window to bring in new players.
However, Morrison also cautioned United fans to be careful what they wish for, as they were recently critical of Scott McTominay, but now many would welcome him back on the team.
Meanwhile, Jamie Redknapp, a former Tottenham and England player, expressed his belief that it will take a lot of time and patience for Manchester United to turn things around after another disappointing defeat. He acknowledged that the club is lacking top-quality players and it will be a challenging journey for them to regain their former glory.
Amorim himself was disappointed with the result, especially since United had several chances to score, including two from Garnacho. He admitted that the difference in the game was the fact that Tottenham scored and they did not. He also mentioned the team's need to recover and come together in order to finish the season strong and start anew.
