In the key match of the 4th round of the Premier League, Manchester United suffered a heavy 0-3 defeat away to Manchester City. After the game, Manchester United manager Amorim gave an interview to Camel Live and shared his views on the match.
Amorim said: “If you look at the opponent's goals, we could have avoided those concessions. That's the biggest difference between us and Manchester City. We could have done better, especially with the second goal—it's a concession we absolutely could have prevented.”
“The biggest gap is that when we had attacking and defensive transitions, we failed to capitalize on those opportunities to score. In the second half, Manchester City handled transitions far better, and we struggled badly at that point, unable to deal with the situation.”
“It's clear we could have performed better, but our display took a turn for the worse during the game—for the third goal, our midfield connections lacked quality; the players on the pitch had no idea who would go to receive the ball, and that let the opponent score freely in their transition. For the first goal, their player was right in the middle of four of ours—we could have been more aggressive at that moment.”
“In games like this, we need to be perfect, and we weren't perfect today. The frustration is always the same because we had so many chances that we needed to put away.”
"We have a lot of work to do ahead of the next match."
