Amorim is unbeaten in his first three games in charge and led United to their biggest league win since 2021, beating Everton 4-0 in the previous round.
In round 14, Man United will play an away match against Arsenal. Before this match, Amorim emphasized that Man United fans must be ready to accept bigger challenges and unsatisfactory results in the upcoming matches.
"I want to say many different things, but I have to repeat: The storm for the team will come. Man United will have difficult moments, will be overcome by opponents in matches.
I know that because I know my players, I know football and I follow football. The team is at a stage where we put simple things into the team, beyond training.
So the focus of the team at the moment is on the games, on what needs to be improved, on the performances on the pitch. I know, it is difficult to be the manager of Man United and say these things in press conferences,” Amorim said.
On the rankings, Arsenal is ranked 2nd on the rankings with 25 points, while Man United is ranked 9th with 19 points. The Gunners' head-to-head record against Man United in the last 2 seasons is also very good. Along with the home field advantage, Arsenal will have many opportunities to defeat Man United.
If this happens, Amorim will have his first defeat with his new team. "We always want to win, no matter what, we will try to win, but we know that we are in a different position compared to Arsenal," the Portuguese strategist modestly said.
While Man United's players are still learning about his tactical system, Amorim is also learning about United.
The Portuguese coach, who has been in charge for three weeks since replacing Erik ten Hag, admitted that the attention and workload of managing one of the world's biggest clubs has taken him by surprise.
According to him, when he came to Man United, his job was not simply to coach the team but also to improve everything about himself, manage time differently, have less time to prepare for matches, and many other things to do...
“I was a bit surprised by my initial experience with Man United, but at the same time I was expecting something special,” Amorim said.
The Arsenal vs Man United match will take place at 3:15 a.m. on December 5.
