Manchester United head coach remains optimistic despite the team's struggles in the Premier League as they head into 2025 in 14th place. The recent 2-0 defeat to Newcastle marked the fifth league loss in a single calendar month, a feat not seen since September 1962. With four consecutive defeats in all competitions and six losses in the last eight games, the Red Devils are facing a challenging period.
In a New Year's Eve message, the coach expressed his excitement for the upcoming year, acknowledging the hard work required to turn the team's fortunes around. Despite the looming threat of relegation, Amorim is determined to lead the team to better results in 2025.
Amorim's decision to stick with the 3-4-3 system has faced criticism due to the players' struggles in adapting to the new tactics. The coach admitted that the lack of a pre-season hindered the implementation of the new system, affecting the team's performance on the field.
Addressing the challenges faced by the players, Amorim highlighted the difficulties in transitioning from their previous style of play to the new formation. He emphasized the need to build a strong foundation to cope with tough moments during matches, a task made harder by the abrupt tactical changes.
Manchester United faces a tough test as they prepare to take on league leaders Liverpool in a highly anticipated clash. The upcoming match against their fierce rivals will be a crucial opportunity for the team to showcase their resilience and determination to improve their position in the league standings.
Despite the current setbacks, Amorim's positive outlook and commitment to guiding Manchester United through this challenging period reflect his unwavering belief in the team's potential for success in the upcoming year.
