Losing to Arsenal, Amorim still speaks boldly: MU is capable of winning against all opponents

TPO - Witnessing the positive aspects of the attack in the loss to Arsenal, Ruben Amorim appeared very optimistic, he boldly declared that MU is capable of defeating any opponent...

At home on the night of August 17, MU lost 0-1 to Arsenal. It was Ruben Amorim's 15th defeat in 28 matches since he took charge of the Red Devils in November 2024. This is a new unforgettable milestone for this coach. He became the fastest person to reach 15 defeats in the Premier League in 16 years, since the case of Paul Hart at Portsmouth in 2009.

The opening game of the season did not go according to plan for the Portuguese coach. Just when things were going smoothly, he was doused with cold water by Altay Bayindir. The goalkeeper missed the ball under pressure from William Saliba, allowing Calafiori to score the only goal of the game.

Amorim has had a series of defensive problems since taking over from Erik ten Hag. It has ruined all of MU's efforts in the match despite having 61% possession against the Gunners, launching 22 shots (7 on target) compared to just 9 shots (3 on target) on the other side.

MU attacked quite well but still could not score.

Perhaps the rare highlight of MU in the match was the two new contracts Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo played aggressively, helping MU's attack to be very bright in the second half. For Amorim, perhaps that was enough for him to be optimistic after the defeat.

He even boldly declared that MU is ready to win against any opponent. "Today, we proved that we can win any match in the Premier League, especially against a great team like Arsenal," Amorim said after Sunday night's defeat.

"We were the better team. We felt like we played better. In the end, we lost the game, but I'm really proud of the team's effort."
