Team ‘need time’ says manager after fourth loss in fivePereira praises Cunha after Wolves’ second straight win
Ruben Amorim said Manchester United must adopt survival mode to end their miserable run after a fourth defeat in five Premier League matches dropped them to 14th, seven points above the relegation zone. The Portuguese blamed the lack of time to coach his players as a barrier to progress after a sapping Boxing Day defeat at Wolves, where his captain, Bruno Fernandes, was sent off early in the second half after picking up a second yellow card.
Amorim is the first United manager to lose as many as five of his first 10 games in charge of the club in all competitions since Walter Crickmer in January 1932. “I manage but I didn’t train [the players],” said Amorim, who replaced Erik ten Hag six weeks ago. “They need time to train, they are completely changing the way of playing, it is really hard on them and for the staff to pass on all the information. When you don’t have results, it’s even harder for them to believe.
