Amorim: We believe we can win any game and we have proven it

November 6 News At 20:30 on November 8, in the 11th round of the 2025-26 Premier League season, Manchester United will play against Tottenham away. Before the game, Red Devils coach Amorim talked about some of the team's current situation at a press conference.

Has the team gotten better since the Europa League final?

-The personalities of the players are different, but we have a lot of players on the team who were on the team last year. Now, our team is better, the performance is better, and the understanding of the game is better. We are more confident and now in the game we show a different confidence.

We controlled the tempo of the game better, but if you remember that game, they had a field goal and won the game. I expect this game to be different and we can play better but also need a little bit of luck to win the game.

Are the players more confident?

- I think we are definitely more confident. We believe we can win any game and we have proven it. The last game was difficult for us because in some moments we were not as good as we should be. The game against Brighton was completely different.

We cannot forget that there are still many areas for improvement, and we are now better able to deal with various situations that may arise in the game. But we also know we have a lot of work to do to win more games like this and be consistent. We are capable and confident but still need to do better in some games.

I think we can control the game better now. When we encounter difficulties, we can adjust because we have players who can change the situation and personal abilities can help us. But against Nottingham Forest, even though we were in control in the first half, you could feel the energy was different and it could be seen from the start.

About the team's injury issues

-Sometimes, you will encounter players with some impacts. This is not a soft tissue problem. You never know what will happen in the next training. If you train hard, anything can happen.

But I think the main reason is that with only one game a week, you can give those players who might have problems in the next training an extra day off, and I think that's important.

About the number of goals conceded by teams

- This is a problem, especially in today's league. Teams that win a lot of games concede few goals or have almost no shots on target, which is especially important for teams with a lot of talented players. In one chance you can score a goal and win the game.

But I think it's more of a team problem, we need to defend better. We need to be more proactive and our defense will be better when we have more energy. We still have a lot of work to do and we cannot accept conceding so many goals. This is where we must improve.

Regarding the response to Ronaldo’s interview

-Of course, he knows that his words have a great influence. What we need to focus on now is the future. We know the club has made a lot of mistakes in the past and we are working hard to change that.

Let us not focus on what happened in the past, but on what we are doing now. We're changing a lot of things structurally, in terms of how things are done and how we expect players to perform. We're doing it and we're making progress, so let's move on and forget the past.
