Man United is in a relegation battle

Huyền Nga |

Coach Ruben Amorim admitted that Man United are in a relegation battle after a 0-2 defeat to Newcastle.

The disastrous 0-2 defeat to Newcastle right at Old Trafford has caused Man United to continue to face the crisis. After 4 defeats near home, the Red Devils are currently ranked 14th and are only 7 points away from the relegation zone.

Responding after the defeat, coach Ruben Amorim admitted: Man United are in a relegation battle, that is really clear. This is one of the most difficult times in the history of the team and we need to face it.

The Portuguese strategist also spoke up to ask his students to regain focus and confidence in the context of the Red Devils being too vulnerable. He said the team was having difficulty turning the game around when their opponents were behind. At the same time, the players have not yet been trained in the basics to deal with similar situations.

Against Newcastle, Man United had 10 shots but only 1 shot on target. The ineffectiveness in attack made it impossible for Ruben Amorim and his team to turn the situation around when they let the opponent lead by 2 goals after only 19 minutes of play.

In defense, the Red Devils continued to lose in high-profile situations. The trio Matthijs de Ligt - Harry Maguire - Lisandro Martinez had a day to forget when Newcastle's attack exploited and exposed too many deadly weaknesses.

The choice of Christian Eriksen and Casemiro in midfield also caused the 39-year-old coach to receive a lot of criticism. It was the slowness of the two names mentioned above that made Man United unable to defend against the opponent's fast counter-attacks and long-term playing style.

This weekend, the Red Devils will have a "less bad" away trip to Anfield. Currently, Liverpool is flying high with the top spot in the rankings and 8 points behind the second-placed team. Can Man United end the upward trend of Arne Slot's team or continue to sink deeper into crisis with a series of 4 consecutive defeats in the Premier League.
