Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has said that the club can be restored, looking at the Premier League history. United is having one of their worst seasons in the club’s history as they have managed only 10 wins, 9 draws and 15 losses and they are languishing at the 14th position in the Premier League standings with only 39 points.
Under Amorim, the Old Trafford-based club has managed only six wins since he took over the coaching baton from former manager Erik Ten Hag in November.
On Sunday, United played a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth after Rasmus Hojlund scored an equaliser in the 96th minute. Bournemouth was reduced to 10-man after Evanilson received a second yellow card in the 70th minute to give a numerical advantage to the Red Devils.
Amorim said it is crucial for them to focus on themselves and be honest.
Speaking about the gap to Liverpool as a nearby television screen showed the Liverpool and Tottenham players walking out at Anfield, Amorim said: “The first thing is to focus on ourselves and not the other teams. The next thing is to be really honest: we are in different levels in this moment.
“But then explain that everything can change and I remember when I started seeing the Premier League, it was opposite. So everything can change. We need to focus on step by step, not trying to think too far ahead.
“We have an ultimate goal: that is winning the Premier League. Again, I am not crazy. I know that is not going to be next year but we are trying to build something. The small things are really important and we did that during this year.
“We need to improve next year. But I know that is important to the fans — we know that — but we need to be honest with them and to work hard every day.”
Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola said the club plan to appeal Evanilson’s red card.
“Everyone who has played football understands,” Iraola said. “He slips. He doesn’t catch him with the leg that goes high and the consequence is a red card. It is another three games without playing. The repercussions for us are huge.
“Of course we are going to appeal. It is common sense. In the first half Evanilson gets a kick in the chest by Casemiro. I don’t think you should have a red card for this. But the VAR cuts the worst angle, the worst frame.”
