Amorim Defends Team After 14th League Loss

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim expressed his disregard for criticism following a 4-1 defeat to Newcastle United, marking the team’s 14th Premier League loss this season. After the match, Amorim acknowledged the team's poor performance but emphasized that losing games weighs heavier than any personal condemnation. Despite some positive play, defensive errors contributed to the loss, leaving United in 14th place, seven points away from the top half of the table. Amorim has made significant changes to the squad, including the omission of first-choice goalkeeper Andre Onana, as they prepare for a crucial Europa League quarter-final second leg against Lyon. He reiterated the need for improvement and advised the team to focus on their upcoming match, which is critical for their hopes of securing Champions League football next season. Amorim remains committed to turning the season around despite facing mounting scrutiny.
