That is it, frustrated and enraged.

In his first response to Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with West Ham on Thursday, Ruben Amorim summarized his own feelings in his opening statement.

However, he might have been speaking out for the entire United fanbase, including those who booed his team at Old Trafford.

Former United captain Roy Keane used similar terminology to sum up his thoughts regarding the current United side, and he was certainly speaking for him.

At the conclusion of another game, United led by a significant leap up the horizon of the Premier League, only to concede late and draw a point, Keane said.

“I wouldn’t believe or trust this team,” he said. More goals are [in them], but defensively and midfield are still a lot of a mystery.

Amorim’s words sounded unusually agitated, despite his insistent calmness.

He claimed that his tirade would end after the dressing room TV broke and his hand was cut in January when Brighton beat him at home.

Instead, he will hold off on announcing the outcome of the game at Carrington on Friday, believing it would be ineffective to speak with his players while the atmosphere is still high.

Amorim was aware, however, that something was wrong.

He was aware of why Diogo Dalot’s side couldn’t hold onto the second-half lead.

And he was aware of the goal-line clearance from Jarrod Bowen’s flicked header in the 83rd minute that Soungoutou Magasa scored in the 83rd minute to score his first English goal.

Nuno Espirito Santo, the team’s manager, described it as a “deserved” equaliser for the team, who are currently at the bottom of the table, with just two road points since August’s only away win at Nottingham Forest.

Amorim remarked, “It happened with a long ball.” The second ball is won by them over three other players.

Second balls can sometimes be used tactically. With the players we have, we make adjustments.

“The ball was far away from the opponent in the final minutes.” We can’t allow a team with such a taller player to have a corner.

A pattern is emerging, which Amorim finds problematic.

Keane cited Keane’s statement, “One minute, you think they are making progress, they could move fifth, but they don’t get the job done. They appear afraid to perform the task.

With a victory at Nottingham Forest on November 1st, United would have placed second. They needed an equalizer to draw because they were in the lead. The goal was equalizing in stoppage time, but the goal was met a week later when they had the same intention as they had with Tottenham.

If Everton could defeat Everton, a Champions League spot was immediately on offer right after the international break. At home, they lost to 10 men.

This is now fifth place, seven minutes away. They are now eighth overall, 11th overall, four points clear of them. No one is sure whether they are good, average, or poor.

United have made progress, despite the fact that with more than £200 million spent, that would not be as difficult as it was from last season’s 15th place.

United won three games in a row in October, and Amorim was named the month’s manager. Their run is now five wins. They seem to be going in the wrong direction.

Amorim refutes that idea.

He claimed that “it’s not going backwards.”

“There were a few moments. That is a possibility.

You were referring to the time we ran, and you claimed that we were perfect when you claimed otherwise. We lack consistency.

After 83 minutes, the goal has a long ball and we are in control,” the player said. Better is required.

On Monday, United travel to bottom-ranked Wolves. They will once more compete in the final match of a Premier League campaign, and once more there will be a goal to aim for, but each failure will result in lower results.

After the European champion reverts to Russia, the Ukrainian Diving Federation wants diver Sofiia Lyskun to lose all honors.

Lyskun, 23, who won the European Aquatics Championships’ 10m synchro title last year, made the decision to change her nationality earlier this week.

The federation claimed Lyskun “deeply condemns” her actions and expresses deep indignation against her actions, notifying it, the coaching staff, or the Ukrainian ministry of youth and sports.

Such actions are categorically unacceptable, according to the federation, because they discredit both the Ukrainian national team, which fought tirelessly for the right to represent our nation on the world stage every day.

Lyskun claimed in the Russian newspaper Izvestia that she realized over the years that her Ukrainian coaches, who were “all gymnasts or trampoline athletes,” were no longer “growing.”

At a special meeting of the federation’s executive committee, it was decided unanimously to remove Lyskun from the Ukraine team and “strip her of all titles and awards received under the auspices of the federation.”

Additionally, it will “appeal to international sports institutions with a demand to apply sports quarantine to the aforementioned athlete in accordance with current international standards.”

Russian and Belarusian athletes were prohibited from competing in World Aquatics events following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Russians and Belarusians can now compete separately as neutral athletes without the use of their national flag or symbols, with these restrictions now being lifted.
