Ruben Amorim admitted that Manchester United’s victory over Chelsea was “complicated”, but urged his players to build on the 2-1 triumph to boost morale at Old Trafford. The United dominated with a score of 2-0 in their favor, after taking advantage of Robert Sánchez’s early red card, with goals from Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro. The expulsion of the Brazilian just before halftime complicated the second half for Amorim’s team. Trevoh Chalobah’s late header made for a tense finish, but United held firm to secure their second win of the season, giving the Portuguese coach vital breathing room after a week of speculation about his future.
The coach highlighted the good start of the match, which allowed them to put pressure on the opponent and connect with the fans. Despite the help of the opposing goalkeeper’s expulsion, Amorim highlighted that the team controlled the game and scored two goals. However, the expulsion complicated the match. Although they handled the situation well in the second half, the last 15 minutes were difficult. Despite Chelsea’s goal, they managed to secure the victory.It was really important and I think we deserved it.

The coach emphasized that this urgency is independent of tactics or skill, and that the focus should be on winning the next game, starting with the next training session.It’s the urgency of that feeling that we need to win, because the situation is very difficult at this moment. We go to the field and that feeling that there are not two or three results, there is one. Let’s do it.
