Ten months into his United tenure, Ruben Amorim has acknowledged a clear source of frustration among supporters: unpredictability. With a trip to Brentford looming \u2014 the visitors face a side sitting 17th in the table \u2014 Amorim admits even he cannot guarantee the level of performance his team will produce from week to week.<\/p>\n
Amorim accepts the scepticism around the club and says the inconsistency is a product of an extended difficult period. He called on players to treat each fixture as decisive and to show more urgency on the pitch.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s normal for the fans, they don\u2019t know what is going to happen in the next game,\u201d Amorim conceded. \u201cTo be completely honest, I have an idea, but I don\u2019t know how it\u2019s going to be and I\u2019m the manager of the team.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat has to do with the moment that we live for so many months. The best way of dealing with that is that every game is the last one. It\u2019s just not thinking about two games.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, it\u2019s a big deal for Manchester United. The next game is going to be the most important game for a long time for Manchester United. I understand the feeling of the fans. Let\u2019s start changing that feeling and present ourselves with that urgency that we need to do on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n
United have recorded two wins from their opening five matches, a return Amorim says understates their level on the pitch. He insisted the priority is to translate preparation and early match intensity into consecutive victories to rebuild momentum.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t say \u2018playing well\u2019 because I think we did that this year,\u201d the boss continued. \u201cIt\u2019s really important [that United win two straight games], I think that and we spoke about that in the end of the game. It\u2019s really important for us to have that sense of urgency that we need to win no matter what, and it\u2019s going to be really difficult.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery time we start preparing the game and you watch the next opponent, you think it is going to be really tough. I have that feeling.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut for me, we cannot control the result of the game. The most important thing is to start the game the way we start against Chelsea, the way we start against Burnley, the way we start against Arsenal. In these kinds of games, we need to be willing and to have the feeling that we need to win every match.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
