RúBEN AMORIM BRUTALLY HONEST: MANCHESTER UNITED DEALING WITH MANY PROBLEMS
Despite a 5-game winning streak capped by De Ligt's 96th-minute equaliser vs. Spurs, Ruben Amorim insists the team has "a lot of difficulties" and is "just in the beginning" of their development. He is keeping a cool head during the break.

Ruben Amorim maintains that Manchester United still has "a lot of difficulties" and is not getting ahead of itself by the team's five-game winning streak.
Matthijs de Ligt saved United from defeat against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday afternoon by nodding home at the back post from a Bruno Fernandes corner.
It continues an outstanding winning streak under Amorim, who won the Premier League's Manager of the Month title following his team's October triumphs over Brighton, Liverpool, and Sunderland.
They also drew with Nottingham Forest last week before their thrilling last-minute equaliser in north London, meaning the Red Devils have not suffered a loss since Brentford on September 27.
Amorim is keeping his feet firmly planted, though, as he is having his greatest season since taking over at Old Trafford last November.
After the game, the United head coach stated, "We are just in the beginning. We have a lot of problems."
Despite their recent success, Ruben Amorim maintains that Manchester United still has "a lot of issues."
Matthijs de Ligt secured a draw with Tottenham on Saturday by scoring in the 96th minute.
I am aware that occasionally the outcomes demonstrate to others that we are becoming better. Despite our progress, we still have a long way to go.
Amorim continued by saying that his team had to make forced changes to Harry Maguire and Casemiro, two defensive players, after which they conceded goals.
Although he praised his team for overcoming the challenge of Mathys Tel and Richarlison's quick double to put Spurs ahead in injury time, he stated that they should "perform better" after they were in control of the match.
Amorim went on, "If you look at the rest of the game, we were comfortable."
However, I believe we should perform better, be more aggressive, and feel more at ease during the game because of the stadium's atmosphere, which includes three points and space.
We must anticipate that anything can occur during a single play and alter the atmosphere of the stadium, and today was no exception. The game was there to be won; therefore, I believe we managed it well, but we still need to improve.
Amorim will now have time to reflect on his team's performance in north London during their international break before they play Everton at Old Trafford on November 24.
After the game, the head coach told TNT Sports that he entered the half feeling "a little bit of frustration" but also "proud" in his team's reaction to Tottenham's second goal.
After Harry Maguire and Casemiro were sent off, Spurs scored a fast double in the closing minutes.
Richarlison believed he had won it for Tottenham before the remarkable equaliser in injury time from de Ligt.
Amorim informed the broadcaster, "I realise that this is only the beginning." "We are only beginning to develop into a really powerful team."
We have a lot to do, so we will work with the men who will not be playing for the national team and assess everything while also attempting to see the kids play.
Therefore, try to use this space to discuss our club's development rather than only the first team.
After implying that Benjamin Sesko might have sustained a permanent knee injury today, the United manager may also utilise the two-week break to plan a possible foray into the forward transfer market.
Amorim stated that he was "concerned with the injury since it is in the knee" after the £74 million Slovenian was substituted out of Saturday's match against Spurs just 30 minutes after taking a knock.
Then, despite the fact that Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo, and Noussair Mazraoui might be sidelined for up to a month during the Africa Cup of Nations due to injury, he did not rule out the prospect of making additional acquisitions in January.
"We already understood that we were going to have an issue there," he continued.
Therefore, handling that circumstance will be challenging. However, let us see if we can strengthen the team and attempt to fix whatever went wrong while the window is still open. We must bear the risk until then.
MOROCCO AND PSG AWAIT HAKIMI NEWS AHEAD OF AFRICA CUP
PSG's Achraf Hakimi suffered a severe ankle injury and faces a 6-8 week lay-off. Coach Walid Regragui confirms the "leader" will be in the squad, but can Hakimi beat the clock to play in Morocco's home tournament opener?

According to Foot Mercato, 27-year-old Achraf Hakimi has set the lofty goal of being well enough to play against Comoros on December 21.
The team confirmed that the Paris Saint-Germain defender sustained a serious ankle sprain during Tuesday's loss to Bayern Munich. Although a fracture was prevented, an internal ligament injury has occurred. Although RMC Sport is aware that Hakimi would need at least six weeks and possibly two months to recuperate, the defender is eager to play in the opening match because the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) is being held in his home nation.
Foot Mercato knows that this is the goal Hakimi has set for himself. Walid Regragui has addressed Hakimi's predicament, although the former Real Madrid and Inter Milan defender will not be playing during the forthcoming international break.
"We will exert every effort to ensure that he is fully prepared to face the Comoros. And he will be there even if he is unable to play. He is the leader and our greatest player," the Morocco boss declared on Friday. The PSG player will undoubtedly be a member of Morocco's squad, but it is now a race against time for him to be healthy enough to contribute to the competition.
LIVERPOOL FORWARD HUGO EKITIKE ADMITS SLOT’S PRESSURE KEEPS HIM PERFORMING STRONG
Hugo Ekitike laughs off Arne Slot's demanding coaching style, saying the boss is "on my back" to push his work-rate without the ball, not for a "bad thing." The striker also praises Haaland and reveals what he learned from Mbappé, Messi, and Neymar.

Hugo Ekitike laughed, shook his head back, and then gave a forceful answer before the question was even finished. Is the striker frequently pushed during training by Liverpool manager Arne Slot?
"Yes!" exclaimed the striker for France. "It is annoying when you get p***ed as a player. He genuinely cares about me and the team's success. He is on my back, I would say, but not in a negative way. I do not mind because all he wants is to help me.
When a coach is on your back, you may remark on it occasionally because you feel like it is a bit too much, and you want to vent.
"But that is a good thing because I believe that a coach will not talk to you or attempt to get the best out of you if he does not like you.
"He keeps asking me to donate more and more. But I believe you ought to ask him that question.
Since joining the Premier League winners in July for £79 million from Eintracht Frankfurt, Ekitike has undoubtedly shown himself to be a quick student in English football, scoring six goals in 15 games.

But Slot received a public reprimand after receiving an unnecessary second yellow and then a red card for removing his shirt after winning the League Cup match against Southampton in September. This disqualified him from the Premier League loss at Crystal Palace three days later, which led to Liverpool's dismal run of six straight losses.
Ekitike said, when asked for instances of the Reds manager sending forceful messages: "Of course, keep my shirt on! Without the ball, it was more about work-rate, getting more involved, and working harder for the team—all of which I am attempting to do. It is primarily about working without the ball, but we will get there."
The £125 million British record signing's fitness issues have foiled attempts to form a strike combination with Alexander Isak, as the two have only started one match together, last month's 5-1 Champions League thumping at Eintracht Frankfurt.
According to Ekitike, "He is a good player, and I am not worried about excellent players because they progress over time and learn how to discover connections and interconnections."
"I do not doubt that we can all play together, not just him but every guy in the offensive line."
Isak, who resumed training on Friday, is probably going to be benched when Liverpool travels to title contender Manchester City on Sunday in an attempt to extend their winning streak at home against Aston Villa and Real Madrid.
Erling Haaland, who has scored an incredible 18 goals in 14 games across all competitions this season, will be the opponent.
Ekitike also responded, "One of those, I would say, certainly," when asked if the Norwegian is now the finest striker in the world. He has been among the top attackers in the world for a few years, and I am absolutely considering him.
"I would incorporate a small portion from this game into my own if I could. It is quite amazing how he can perform during the game without making many touches to the ball. I am definitely keeping an eye on him."
Ekitike has a lot of experience learning from others. He is in the same France squad as his close buddy Kylian Mbappe and Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele, and he was at Paris Saint-Germain when Mbappe, Lionel Messi, and Neymar were higher up the hierarchy.
Ekitike remarked, "I try to absorb stuff from the players I love." "I enjoy watching and aim to improve my skills to become more complete.
"What did Messi teach me? Perhaps his vision. I occasionally try to see things before I am given the ball. I learned several talents and tricks, including ball control, from Neymar. Kylian could run really well without the ball, so I took his runs. There are too many things to mention them all. However, I did take some things from their game.
After assisting Liverpool in defeating his Real Madrid team in the middle of the week, Ekitike spoke with Mbappe for twenty minutes.
The 23-year-old stated, "He is glad for me because now things are working out, because he saw me in a horrible position at PSG." "We can play together and see each other on the national team. For me, he has been like a big brother.
What was the issue at PSG? Simply put, I was not playing. In the end, it was challenging. He provided me guidance and was always kind to me.
After beginning his playing career with Reims, Ekitike made the unorthodox decision to spend six months on loan in Denmark with Velje Boldklub in 2021, which he feels changed him as a player.
He stated, "I would not say it is a strange decision, but it is not what you anticipate from a young player." "I chose to go to Denmark even though most people anticipated I would get to the second level in France.
"Obviously, it was challenging, but it was excellent. I gained a lot of knowledge from this league and received regular minutes. The men were strong. I gained self-assurance for my return to France.
Ekitike went on to say, "He is an idol for us French players, so I take the praise," after learning that Thierry Henry considers him the most exciting summer acquisition.
However, I do not want to be a noteworthy addition. I want to have a fantastic season and be a terrific player.
