In a recent conversation with Piers Morgan, Cristiano Ronaldo continued to criticize his former team, saying that coach Ruben Amorim could not turn the situation around at Manchester United with only individual ability.
"Amorim did his best. But what a miracle? Color TV is not there" - said the striker from Al-Nassr.
Before this statement, at the press conference before the match against Tottenham in round 11 of the Premier League, Amorim remained calm. "He understands the weight of what he says. We don't want to look back at the past. Man United have made many mistakes, but now is the time for change.
We are doing that - changing the structure, the way of operating and the way of players behaving. Things are getting better. Focus on the present and forget the past" - Amorim shared.
The match against Tottenham this weekend brought the "Red Devils" a sad memory. In May, they lost to this opponent in the Europa League final, thereby losing the opportunity to participate in the Champions League this season.
According to Amorim, Man United are now improving and are completely different from that defeat. "First of all, we have players with different characteristics. Many people are still from last season, but now they play better, understand how to operate better and are more confident. We controlled the game better, knew how to endure and turn things around" - the 40-year-old captain said.
The Portuguese coach believes that confidence and organization are two key factors that help Man United maintain stable performance, with a series of 4 recent unbeaten matches in the Premier League.
"We believe we can beat anyone, and reality has proven it. But the team still needs to improve further to be able to win continuously and maintain the highest form" - Amorim emphasized.
