Ruben Amorim has been working tirelessly to get his message across to the Manchester United squad. According to Bruno Fernandes, the new manager has been stressing the importance of scoring more goals in order to revive the Red Devils' performance. It hasn't been an easy journey for Amorim, but there have been some positive signs with a draw against Liverpool and a penalty shootout victory over Arsenal in the FA Cup.
However, there is still a lot of room for improvement as Manchester United currently sits at 13th place in the Premier League table with only 23 points from 20 games. In fact, they have scored the same number of goals as the 19th-placed Leicester City. Amorim has made it clear that this is not acceptable and Fernandes agrees, saying that with the talented players they have, there is no reason why they can't make significant progress in the goal-scoring department.
Fernandes, who scored the opener against Arsenal, believes that their young players such as Rasmus, Josh, Amad, Garnacho, Rashy, Antony, and even the midfielders, have the ability to find the back of the net. He also acknowledges the hard work that has been done in training as Amorim continues to implement his 3-4-3 system, which proved successful in his previous club Sporting.
However, Fernandes emphasizes that tactics and formations are not the most important aspects at the moment. He believes that the team's enthusiasm and effort have been lacking during their rough patch. As they prepare to host Southampton on Thursday, the Red Devils' captain acknowledges that having more time to train and prepare for games is helpful, but ultimately, it's about the passion and desire to win.
He further explains that the players understand what Amorim expects from them in terms of positioning and tactics, but the manager has been focusing on instilling a strong work ethic and determination to secure victories. Fernandes is confident that they are on the right track and there is still plenty of room for improvement in both aspects. He believes that with the team's dedication and hard work, they will continue to progress and get back to where they belong.
