After a 2-0 defeat at Arsenal, Ruben Amorim believes he must maintain his high expectations at Manchester United.

In his first two weeks as manager of the English giants, the Portuguese were introduced to a roller coaster.

Following a disappointing 1-1 draw at lowly Ipswich, Bodo/Glimt won the Europa League game 3-2.

For the first time in a Premier League game scored by four or more goals since August 2021, Everton won 4-0 at Old Trafford last weekend.

The Red Devils and those competing for the title of Premier League were able to pull off a comfortable victory on Wednesday at the Emirates Stadium, demonstrating the gulf.

United are only three points away from the top six while they are 13th.

At his pre-match press conference prior to Nottingham Forest’s visit on Saturday, Amorim said, “It’s difficult because it’s very competitive this league and changes all the time with just one result.”

You guys were asking about the top four before this Arsenal game, and we are now back in this position. Nowadays it’s like that.

We must manage our expectations, and we must also remain calm and focused when we have bad results. ”

Off the field, it has been a sad week for United as popular former receptionist Kath Phipps, who worked at the club for over 55 years, died at the age of 85 on Thursday.

Among those honoring their own personal tributes were former stars like David Beckham and Wayne Rooney, as well as members of the current squad like Marcus Rashford.

“You feel it today,” added Amorim. “It’s a sad day. Everyone discusses Kathy, the woman.

She was a really significant person here who epitomized everything that this club is because you can feel it, the love, and how Darren Fletcher (United Technical Director) approaches her.

“Friendly, professional, taking care of everybody, so it’s a sad day for us. ”
