Ruben Amorim, after the “complicated” victory of Manchester United over Chelsea, urged his players to build on the 2-1 triumph to consolidate the good moment at Old Trafford. The Amorim team dominated the match with a 2-0 lead, taking advantage of Robert Sánchez’s early expulsion, with goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro. However, Casemiro’s expulsion before halftime complicated the game. Trevoh Chalobah’s late header made for a tense finish, but United managed to hold onto their lead and secure their second win of the season, giving the Portuguese coach a breather after a week of speculation about his future.
Amorim highlighted the good start to the match, the control exerted, and the ability to win over the fans. Although the opposing goalkeeper’s expulsion made things easier, the team was already in control and had scored two goals. The coach acknowledged that, despite everything, Casemiro’s expulsion complicated the game. In the second half, the team managed the match well, although the last 15 minutes were difficult after Chelsea’s goal. The result allowed United to move up the standings, and now Amorim seeks to string together consecutive victories for the first time in his tenure, starting with the next match against Brentford.It was really important and I think we deserved it.

The coach emphasized that the mindset should be to go to each game with the sole intention of winning, regardless of tactical aspects or skill, but with the urgency to achieve victory.It’s the urgency of that feeling that we need to win, because the situation is very difficult at this moment.
