Ruben Amorim breaks £63M forgotten Man United star’s heart and tells him to look for a new club by January

Manchester United’s unbeaten run under Ruben Amorim came to an abrupt halt with a 2-0 defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. Although United showcased strong defensive organization in the first half, they struggled to handle Arsenal’s relentless second-half pressure.

Set-pieces proved to be United’s downfall, as Jurrien Timber and William Saliba both scored from corners, capitalizing on United’s defensive frailties. This was particularly disappointing given the team’s pre-match emphasis on improving their set-piece resilience.

Amorim’s dissatisfaction was evident, urging his players to adopt a more assertive approach in possession and take greater risks in the attacking third. His high standards were apparent, even as his team managed to sustain their defensive discipline for significant portions of the match.

The game underscored Amorim’s tactical astuteness and meticulousness. He was a constant presence on the touchline, using hand signals to adjust his team’s defensive shape and directing their movement across the pitch. His instructions aimed to counter Arsenal’s offensive threats and reinforce his tactical principles.

Despite the loss, there were encouraging signs, particularly in United’s defensive structure. However, addressing their set-piece weaknesses and improving their offensive fluidity will be essential if they hope to challenge at the Premier League’s summit.

The defeat leaves United in 11th place as they gear up for their next match against Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford. Amorim will be keen to regroup his team, fine-tune their strategy, and reignite their momentum in pursuit of his long-term vision.
