Bruno Fernandes has spoken out in defense of Ruben Amorim amidst the recent backlash following his strong words about Manchester United's performance. Amorim's comments, although blunt and critical, were not meant to be taken as a personal attack on the players. He was simply expressing his frustration and disappointment with the team's current state.
After United's defeat to Brighton last weekend, Amorim did not hold back in his post-match interview. He openly stated that the team was not meeting expectations and that they were possibly the worst in the club's history. His words were fueled by his passion for the club and his desire to see them succeed. As a new coach, he was also feeling the pressure to deliver better results than his predecessor.
However, Amorim has since expressed regret for his words and admitted that they may have been said in the heat of the moment. Fernandes, who is also Portuguese like Amorim, understands this tendency to speak out of frustration. He also shared that even the usually calm and composed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has had his moments of anger towards the players.
Fernandes believes that Amorim's words were not out of line or unwarranted. As a manager, it is his responsibility to push the players and hold them accountable for their performance. And when a manager includes himself in the criticism, it is easier for the players to accept and learn from it.
The midfielder also acknowledged that the team's current position in the league is not where they want to be. They have been struggling for a while now and it is not a position that the club is used to. However, they must accept this reality and use it as motivation to work harder and improve.
Fernandes emphasized that every game is an opportunity to turn things around and bring the club back to where it belongs. He also acknowledged that this season has been a rollercoaster ride with its fair share of disappointments. But he believes that the team has the strength and determination to keep fighting and bouncing back.
In the end, Fernandes reiterated that playing for Manchester United comes with a certain level of pressure and expectation. But it is this pressure that drives them to push harder and strive for greatness. And with every game, they have a chance to prove themselves and show that they are a resilient and determined team.
