Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, thinks that the pressure to perform can be what motivates the team. It helps to improve on its disappointing season. Ahead of their pivotal matchup with Southampton, who are now in last place. Amorim acknowledged the difficulties his team confronts in trying to end a four-game losing streak in the Premier League. United is currently mired in 14th place in the Premier League points standings, two months into his stay.
Even while the club has had some outstanding performances, such as a 2-1 triumph over Manchester City, a fierce 2-2 draw against Liverpool, and a gruelling FA Cup penalty shootout victory against Arsenal with just 10 men, consistency has been a recurring problem. Even if the outcomes have been inconsistent, Amorim said that he enjoys the pressure to perform since he views it as an essential source of motivation for progress.
The 39-year-old coach was open about how long it would take the team to fully adopt his philosophy and style of play. Southampton will play United on Thursday, January 16. Ruben Amorim, meanwhile, declined to comment on the future of Marcus Rashford, a forward who has not played since December 12 due to leaving the rumours. United are currently placed 15th in the league table.
Amorim’s Faith in Pressure
The Portuguese said, “Yeah, I’m always concerned because we didn’t have, during these games, the consistency in performances, in results. So always worried. This next game will teach me more about my players than the last two… fans will expect more tomorrow. We have to deliver. In the last years we haven’t won the league.”
Calciomercato claims that Alejandro Garnacho, a winger for United, has signed a preliminary deal to join Napoli. The Argentine winger is now one step closer to finalising a surprise January move. After apparently agreeing to a five-year contract with the Serie A powerhouses that will earn him €3 million (£2.53 million) per season. Garnacho’s contract, things are looking up following a meeting between Garnacho’s representatives and Giovanni Manna, in Barcelona.
