Manchester United will be back in action on Monday evening when they take on Bournemouth at Old Trafford. Despite some recent criticism from former players, manager Ruben Amorim remains focused on the task at hand and believes it is unfair to compare his team to past United squads that were constantly winning. The Red Devils have had some ups and downs this season, but a recent 4-1 victory over Wolves has given them confidence heading into the next match.
Amorim and his team will be looking to continue their winning ways against Bournemouth and a victory would propel them up to fifth place in the table. While the Portuguese manager has received some criticism from former players like Paul Scholes, he remains confident in his abilities and his team's potential. He understands that the level of scrutiny is much greater at Manchester United, but he is focused on winning and improving the team's performance.
In regards to the criticism he has faced, Amorim said, "It is normal, I think it's a fact that as the manager of Manchester United, we are underachieving. We should have more points, especially this season." He also addressed the issue of Kobbie Mainoo, who has yet to make a Premier League start this season. Amorim explained that it is difficult to take Bruno Fernandes out of the team, but that Mainoo is a talented player who he believes in.
Despite the pressure and scrutiny, Amorim maintains the backing of United's hierarchy and is determined to turn things around for the team. He believes that the main issue is not winning, and that if the team can start winning consistently, the other criticisms will fade away. Amorim also understands that the expectations and standards at Manchester United are higher than at his previous club, Sporting Lisbon, but he is determined to meet those expectations and bring success to the club.
As the team prepares for their next match, Amorim remains focused on the task at hand and is not letting the criticism affect him. He knows that United is a club that values risk and entertainment, and he is determined to bring that back to the team. "Having fans on the edge of their seat, ready to go," Amorim said. "Wingers who beat people. Shots on goal. Bits of skill. There's nothing there. That's from the club. We talk about this is a different club - they've got Omar Berrada, Jason Wilcox who are probably brilliant at their job, brilliant at what they do. They're not Man United. They don't have a clue what it's like to buy a Manchester United player, to bring a Manchester United manager in."
Despite the criticism from former players, Amorim remains confident in his abilities and his team's potential. He knows that winning is the key to silencing his critics and he is determined to do just that. As the team continues to improve and work towards their goals, they will be looking to make a statement against Bournemouth on Monday night.
