Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim stated that his team is a ‘huge club but not a huge team’ and highlighted their work rate off the ball as an area in need of improvement.
United had two wins in Amorim’s first three games in charge of the club, against Bodo/Glimt and Everton, but suffered their first defeat under the new boss against Arsenal in midweek.
Goals from Jurrien Timber and William Saliba gave Mikel Arteta’s side a 2-0 win, with United now slipping into the bottom half of the Premier League table ahead of their next game against Nottingham Forest, live on Sky Sports, on Saturday (kick-off 5:30pm).
Before the game, Amorim spoke openly about the problems plaguing his team and how much work needs to be done before United can compete as one of the heavyweights of world football again.
He said: ‘It is very clear. We are a huge club, but we are not a huge team. We know that, so it’s not a problem to say that. We have to believe it more.
‘We have some good things, but you can feel there is so much to do. We have to improve in the final third.’
