The head coach of Manchester United Ruben Amorim has reacted to his team’s first defeat of the Premier League season, which came against Arsenal.
Ruben Amorim was speaking during the post-match conference at Old Trafford where he was asked about the performance of his players and what he thinks about the goal scored by Riccardo Calafiori.
He was not happy that the goal was allowed to stand after it was reviewed by VAR. According to him, the Arsenal players did not give his goalkeeper (Altay Bayindir) a breathing space.
What did Ruben Amorim say about Riccardo Calafiori’s goal?
“It’s not playing the ball. I understand we want goals but when you are touching the goalkeeper. Sometimes you are pushing and you don’t have more hands to go for the ball. We need to be stronger. We are not changing the rules, we have to adapt to the rules. Today I think we are the better team.”
⁸However, he expressed his satisfaction with the way his team ( Manchester United) played against Arsenal and believes that they are capable of beating any team in the Premier League this season.
He said,
“I am really proud of the guys. They were really brave in everything they did during the game. Congratulations on the performance. We deserved a different result and we need to move forward to the next one. We have players to win any game in the Premier League. We need to focus and forget about the noise. It doesn’t matter who is playing, we want to win games.”
Amorim also cleared the air on leaving out Andre Onana from the team list against Arsenal. According to him, he has not abandoned the Cameroonian, but chose two players ahead of him.
“I haven’t ruled out Onana. It’s not a question of ruling out Onana, but of putting Onana ahead of one of the other two with one week of training and without having played. Tom [Heaton] and Altay [Bayindir] did a good job during the pre-season. I am satisfied with all three goalkeepers.”
Which team will Manchester United play on match day 2 in the Premier League?
