‘We have a lot of problems’ – Amorim rues United draw at Tottenham

Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United may have snatched a late equalizer at Tottenham but the manager believes his team should have gone home with three points.

 

Manchester United opened scoring in the first half through Bryan Mbeumo but Thomas Frank’s side came back in the game through Mathys Tell and Richarlison.

With the game just few seconds away from ending, Matthijs de Ligt rescued a point for the Red Devils. Still, Amorim says there is a “lot of problems” in the team and felt his team deserved three points.

“We have a lot of problems. We are just in the beginning. I know that sometimes the results show to people that we are improving. We are improving but we have a lot to do,” Amorim said.

“You can divide the game into the final 10 minutes and also when we have to take out Harry Maguire, then suffer two goals and then losing Ben. To overcome everything and manage to score is a good thing,” he bemoaned.

 

“If you look at the rest of the game, I think we were comfortable in the game but we should do better. Be more aggressive, feeling the environment in the stadium that the three points were there, the space was there and I think we felt too comfortable during the game.

 

“We need to expect that in one play anything can happen and change the mood of the stadium. Today was that. I think we control the game well, but we need to do better because the game was there to take,” Amorim said.

 

Benjamin Sesko limped off after he came on as a substitute for Mazraoui, leaving United with 10 players in the final moments of the Tottenham game. But the team rallied to score a leveller to keep their new-found form in the EPL intact.
