Manchester United lost the match with Everton, score 0-1, although the opponent played inferior from the 10th minute.
Idrissa Gueye's dismissal in the 10th minute after slapping a team-mate appeared to make Manchester United's task easier against Everton. But it wasn't like that. Ruben Amorim's team not only later conceded a goal (min. 29), but also lost the match, 0-1.
United thus missed the chance to enter the top five for the third time in a row, having drawn with Nottingham Forest and Tottenham in the previous matches. Disappointed, Amorim said at the end that the “devils” are not even close to where they should be. And that the 5 game unbeaten streak created a false impression.
Ruben Amorim: “I know where we are. We are not where we should be”
“I know where we're at. I get that feeling during this positive streak. I talk about it all the time. We are not there, not even close to where we should be to fight for the best positions in the championship“, admitted the Portuguese technician.
“We have a lot to do and we have to be perfect to win games. We weren't perfect today. I'll say it again, in these five weeks everyone has praised our development. But I'm saying the same thing. We're not even close to where we should be at this club.” repeated Amorim.
Ruben Amorim is concerned that Manchester United could repeat last season's nightmare
Manchester United's performance was reminiscent of last season's woeful home form when they lost seven times at Old Trafford without scoring. As they now sit in tenth place, Amorim is concerned that the team could regress.
“I'm afraid to go back to the feeling of last season“, he added: “That is my biggest concern. We have to work together and we will work together.”
