Matheus Cunha delivered a blunt assessment of the mood inside the dressing room after Manchester United\u2019s 3\u20131 loss to Brentford on Saturday. The summer signing said the state of the squad after the defeat was clear and unsettling.<\/p>\n
\u201cHorrible. Honestly, horrible,\u201d he told TNT Sports. \u201cI always say the same, we know how important it is to play for a club like this one and we go for every game to win. For it not to end like that, it is a horrible feeling. Everyone wanted to do more, everyone needs to do more. Of course, we need to go again, that\u2019s only the way.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, trying to find excuses, I don\u2019t think is the way. We know what you need to do. I don\u2019t think we did well. They were more fit, they arrived and scored goals, but like I say, that is not an excuse.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cunha was signed to inject life into an attack that has struggled. He was brought in to revitalise a stagnant attack alongside Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin \u0160e\u0161ko but has yet to record a goal involvement. Among the three summer signings, they have managed just two goals.<\/p>\n
The trio started together for the first time this season. The Slovenian scored his first goal and Mbeumo won a penalty, but captain Bruno Fernandes failed to convert from the spot for the second time this season.<\/p>\n
Results like Saturday\u2019s have intensified scrutiny over the coaching situation. Questions surrounding Amorim\u2019s future are likely to continue given the continued struggles. Players like Harry Maguire have previously cited the benefit of a full preseason under the Portuguese boss over the summer, though the defence continues to be a worry.<\/p>\n
Manchester United now host Sunderland on Oct. 4 before the next international break, then face league leaders Liverpool at Anfield on their return. In goal, Senne Lammens is still awaiting a debut as Altay Bay\u0131nd\u0131r keeps the starting spot following the loan departure of Andr\u00e9 Onana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
