Ruben Amorim, the manager of Manchester United, spoke openly after their latest Premier League victory over Newcastle United.
Ruben Amorim, manager of the "Red Devils" Manchester United, admitted that the team did not play well in the second half but ultimately managed to secure a 1-0 home win against Newcastle United in the English Premier League last night.
Amorim said, "We had to be patient together on the pitch (players and fans). The game was really tough for us. We played well in the first half, but in the second half we faced problems. We only managed to defend and had some chances on counterattacks."
"It was a good victory, but I've seen many home games where we played better and created more chances but didn’t get the three points. Today was the opposite."
"They are a very good team, and I think we played some players out of their usual positions. The match situation was difficult for us, but we won, and tomorrow people will only remember the result."
"I am very happy for Dorgu who scored the goal, and also pleased with Manuel Ugarte, who has been going through a difficult time but performed very well today."
"The players spend time with me every day. They know that when I speak, it comes from good intentions. They know I will protect my players to the fullest, but I am honest, and I think it is important for the fans to understand."
"I don’t see any problem. He played a different position today, one where he could make more mistakes without harming the team much, and he could take more risks, which helped Dorgu play better."
With this win, Manchester United increased their points to 29, overtaking Liverpool to reach 5th place in the standings due to a better goal difference, and they are level on points with Chelsea, who sit 4th.
