Amorim warns Manchester United season remains erratic

Ruben Amorim, Manchester United's head coach, anticipates a challenging and inconsistent season for the team, describing it as a 'rollercoaster' due to their fluctuating performances (The Guardian, AOL). United narrowly avoided a home defeat against Southampton thanks to a late hat-trick by Amad Diallo, moving them up to 12th in the Premier League (Independent, ESPN). Amorim highlights the lack of training time as a factor in their inconsistency and emphasizes the importance of qualifying in the top eight of the Europa League to reduce their fixture congestion (The Guardian, New York Times). Additionally, Amorim defends Rasmus Højlund's recent goal drought, attributing it to a broader team issue rather than an individual failure (ESPN). United's inconsistency is partly due to their struggle to break down deep defenses, a legacy of their counter-attacking style under previous managers (Independent, AOL). Despite the challenges, Amorim remains focused on improving performances through more training sessions and strategic wins (New York Times).
