A draw and two wins for Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese coach took over Manchester United after Erik ten Hag was sacked and had little time to change all that he wanted. And he will need a lot more time and players and money to do everything he wants. But he still hasn’t lost a game. So far so good. In fact, after a draw with Ipswich, he made two back-to-back victories (Bodo/Glimt and Everton) and while the players are slowly picking up his tactics, they are getting their confidence back, which is equally important.‘We are going to suffer for a long period‘But now, Amorim had a chance to see in person what kind of team he has, so he made some interesting comments ahead of Arsenal game tonight. Some will say that he is just realistic, while others will point out that he is probably trying to protect himself from the potential bad results which will come, maybe against the Gunners. After all, The Red Devils haven’t defeated Arsenal in the league for days and Arteta’s men will look for their fourth successive league win against their rivals. United have lost seven of their past nine Premier League away games against Arsenal and they will be without Luke Shaw (injured again), Lisandro Martinez and Kobbie Mainoo (suspended).“I would like to say different things, but I have to say it again: the storm will come. We are going to have difficult moments and we will be found out in some games. I know that because I know my players and I know football and I follow football. I know it’s really hard to be a Manchester United coach and say these things. We want to win all the time, no matter what, but we know that we are in a different point if you compare to Arsenal“ admitted Amorim.Who can Amorim revive?United’s coach also gave compliments to coach Mikel Arteta for transforming Arsenal but also pointed out at a massive media (and fans) attention to Manchester and tried to give himself some time.“What he has been doing in Arsenal, I think is amazing. It transformed the team. But we have to acknowledge that Manchester United is a little bit different. All the attention, all the time. So I know that sometimes it’s not possible to have all that time. So we will try to do things a little bit more fast knowing that here is a massive attention and massive judgment every day“ said the Portuguese.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 14TuesdayIpswich – Crystal Palace 0-1 (0-0)/Mateta 59/Leicester – West Ham 3-1 (1-0)/Vardy 2, Khannous 61,Daka 90 – Fullkrug 90+3/Wednesday22:30: (2.20) Everton (3.50) Wolverhampton (3.50)22:30: (1.40) Man.City (4.70) Nott.Forest (8.00)22:30: (5.00) Newcastle (3.70) Liverpool (1.80)22:30: (8.50) Southampton (5.50) Chelsea (1.33)23:15: (1.50) Arsenal (4.50) Man.Utd.
