Ruben Amorim is prioritizing consecutive Premier League victories for the first time since taking over as Manchester United manager, emphasizing the club’s need to beat Brentford on Saturday. Following a 2-1 victory over Chelsea, Amorim believes it is crucial for the team to maintain momentum as they head to the Gtech Community Stadium for the early kick-off. Amorim’s message of urgency and focus has been communicated throughout the club this week.
Amorim has highlighted the unpredictable nature of Premier League matches but stresses the importance of starting strong. “Anything could happen in a game, but the feeling in the first minutes is really important,” he noted. The manager has consistently reinforced the significance of capitalizing on this opportunity to build momentum and the responsibility that rests on the team.
Reflecting on last season, Amorim admitted uncertainty regarding the team’s style of play. However, there is a noticeable improvement in confidence among the players now. “I always have the feeling that we can win and be dominant,” he said. Amorim acknowledged that while there are still moments of doubt, especially regarding urgency, the team now demonstrates more control and potential to score against top-tier teams like Manchester City and Arsenal.
Due to compassionate leave, Amad Diallo will not be traveling to Brentford. Meanwhile, Noussair Mazraoui is out with an injury, and Casemiro is suspended following a red card received in the match against Chelsea. Despite these setbacks, Amorim maintains a positive outlook and a focus on achieving the necessary victory.
