Ruben Amorim Confident in Manchester United Squad Despite Narrow Defeat to Arsenal

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim expressed strong belief in his team’s ability following their narrow 1–0 loss to Arsenal on Sunday in the Premier League. Despite conceding early from a set-piece, United dominated large spells of the game and managed to restrict key Arsenal stars such as Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyokeres, and Declan Rice to minimal influence. The decisive moment came in the 13th minute when goalkeeper Altay Bayindir mistimed a challenge in the box, allowing Riccardo Calafiori to head in from close range.

Amorim praised his side’s high pressing and improved intensity compared to last season. “We have players to win any game in the Premier League. We were more aggressive than last year. We went one against one all game and pressed high. We had quality with the ball,” the manager said.

Manchester United vs Arsenal Post-Match – Amorim Praises New Signings

In his Manchester United vs Arsenal post-match remarks, Amorim highlighted the impact made by new signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. Both players brought pace and creativity to the United front line, which had been lacking in the previous campaign. “We did a lot of things right. We were more aggressive and brave. Bryan and Cunha helped a lot,” he said. The coach added that the players stayed calm even when the home crowd grew restless and continued to follow their tactical plan.

United fans were also commended by the Portuguese manager, who noted that they expect not only wins but also entertaining performances. “We go to Old Trafford and we are not going to get bored. We need to win more than last season, but the fans want to see and feel something,” he added. United’s high-energy approach was evident throughout the match, with aggressive pressing and improved off-the-ball movement.

Manchester United vs Arsenal Post-Match – Bayindir’s Error Proves Costly

Reflecting on the goal, Amorim admitted the team needs to match opponents physically in set-piece situations. In his Manchester United vs Arsenal post-match comments, he pointed out that while Arsenal players placed pressure on goalkeeper Bayindir during the corner, the keeper needed to respond better. “When you touch the goalkeeper that way, he needs to use his hands to catch the ball, not to push players… If it’s allowed, then we need to do the same,” said Amorim.

Looking Ahead to Future Fixtures

Despite the defeat, Amorim believes the performance offered plenty of encouragement for the season ahead. With continued improvement and tactical consistency, Manchester United will look to convert their performances into positive results as they prepare for their upcoming Premier League fixtures.
