INCONSISTENCY KILLS: RUBEN AMORIM SLAMS UNITED AFTER LATE GOAL CONCEDED
A furious Ruben Amorim slammed his Manchester United team's inconsistency and failure to hold a lead after Soungoutou Magassa's late equalizer for West Ham
Ruben Amorim didn't hide his frustration after Manchester United blew their lead against West Ham at Old Trafford.
Their good run of five games without a loss ended when Everton beat them 1-0 at home about a week and a half ago.
United bounced back by beating Crystal Palace 2-1 on Sunday, but couldn't keep the momentum going back at Old Trafford.
Soungoutou Magassa scored from a corner late in the game, cancelling out Diogo Dalot’s goal and earning West Ham a tie, which left Amorim fuming.
"I'm frustrated and angry, that's all," he said, clearly annoyed, at the post-game press conference.
When asked how he plans to improve the team's performance, he said, We just need to keep working and aim to win the next game.
Amorim seemed angrier than usual, even snapping at reporters and disagreeing with the idea that United had been declining recently.
"We aren't going backwards," he insisted. The results might be, but we've had good moments. That can happen.
You were saying that when we were on that winning streak, the team was perfect and that we were close to being perfect again. The truth is, we're not consistent.
If you look at their goal, it was in the 83rd minute. It was just a long ball, and we had it under control. We need to do better.
Amorim plans to discuss the game with his players on Friday after he's calmed down. He mentioned an incident after a 3-1 loss to Brighton in January when he kicked a TV in the locker room.
He brought up that incident after this latest setback, as well as the 4-2 win against West Ham in October, when they struggled after seeming to be in control.
"I'm usually pretty consistent in that way," he said. Like that time with Brighton last year. I'll talk to the players.
I always feel—and I think everyone else does too—that we need to score more goals.
Even in the Brighton game (in October), we were up 3-0, and then suddenly we let them score twice. We struggle with that. We’re inconsistent, and we need to get better.
United plays Wolves on Monday, who haven't won a game yet. But they can't take anything for granted after failing to beat West Ham at home.
West Ham plays Brighton on Sunday, and their coach, Nuno Espirito Santo, said, I thought we played well overall.
We defended well in the first half. I think we started the game strong. We combined well, created corners, and had good energy.
The second half was very good, even though we let in a goal. We responded positively, controlled the game, and pushed forward. I think we deserved the tie.
The game could have gone either way, but I'm happy with our performance.
Even when we lost to Liverpool, we competed well. We just made mistakes that cost us.
But we showed character today, so it’s a small step in the right direction. We still have a lot to improve, and it's tough with the pressure we're under, but we'll keep working at it.
EX-CAPTAIN NEVILLE CLAIMS SUBSTITUTIONS MADE MANCHESTER UNITED "WORSE" AGAINST WOLVES
Gary Neville slams Ruben Amorim’s "weird" substitutions and tactical shifts after Manchester United's 1-1 draw with bottom-side Wolves.
Gary Neville said that the performance of Manchester United in their match against winless Wolves was ‘the baddest of the bad.’
United would have moved fourth in the league with a win at Old Trafford last night, although Wolves, who had two points in 18 games before kickoff, ended their record of 11 straight losses with a 1-1 draw.
Amorim’s team had been knocked out of the Carabao Cup by a League Two team, Grimsby, in August, but Neville was convinced that United had hit rock bottom in a game that could have been even more one-sided were it not for two important saves by Senne Lammens.
“That was the baddest of the bad," the former United captain declared on the Gary Neville podcast.
“They weren’t just booed off at the final whistle. The fans waited in the stadium to continue to boo them. They’ve gone backwards.”
United had won at Newcastle 1-0 on Boxing Day, despite being plagued by an injury list that already lacked skipper Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, and Matthijs de Ligt, as well as three players on African Cup of Nations duty.
But they remained flat right from the first whistle, and the header by Ladislav Krejci just before the half bottled Joshua Zirkzee's deflected shot.
Amorim’s formation choice of 3-4-3 was brought into focus once more as the Portuguese opted to go back to his preferred tactic of four at the back against Newcastle.
“This isn’t right. I’ve watched enough of United over the last five or six weeks to know what looks right and what isn’t right,” Neville had declared 20 minutes into his commentary on Sky Sports.
“Because, when I see that we go back (to three at the back) after five minutes tonight, I’m thinking, no, Ruben, why have you done that?
"The manager has to look at that and think, I got that wrong. I complicated it."
However, Amorim decided to substitute Zirkzee at halftime and brought on an 18-year-old Jack Fletcher, who made his third appearance at the senior level.
Regarding substitutions made by Amorim, Neville further added, “They made Manchester United worse. Every single substitution was ridiculous.”
‘If Zirkzee was injured, and it was a tactical substitution, that was a very poor one.’ But Zirkzee isn't Eric Cantona, not by a long shot, and he had to get out there for physicality, for presence, for experience.”
SEE LISANDRO MARTINEZ’S FURIOUS REACTION AFTER MAN UTD’S SHOCK WOLVES DRAW
Lisandro Martinez demands more after Man Utd’s 1-1 draw with bottom-placed Wolves. United ended 2025 sixth in the Premier League.
Stand-in captain Lisandro Martinez was mad that Manchester United dropped points against Wolves, who are at the bottom of the league.
United came into the last game of 2025 after a good win against Newcastle on Boxing Day and were expected to easily beat Wolves.
Joshua Zirkzee scored first for United, but they didn't take their chances. Ladislav Krejci's header tied the game for Wolves, 1-1.
It was only their third point in 19 games, and it stopped their 11-game losing streak. United fans booed at the end of the game.
When Martinez was asked if it felt like a disappointing point, he said, 100 percent.
We are very disappointed. We can't keep drawing or losing points at home. We have to win.
We want to be at the top, competing with the best.
We can't drop points in games like this. We just have to accept it and be hungry for the next game.
Martinez was captain again because Bruno Fernandes is still recovering from an injury.
When United coach Ruben Amorim was asked about injured players for the game against Leeds on Sunday, he didn't give much away. Leeds are really wanting to beat United for the first time since 2010.
Martinez said to MUTV, You can either make excuses, or you can be strong and say, 'We're dropping points, so we need to go for the next one and show what we can do.'
We need to work together and do the easy things to get the three points.
United is in sixth place in the league at the end of 2025, only two points behind Liverpool for the last Champions League spot. Liverpool has a game in hand.
They could be in a better position if they had been better in both boxes. Leeds has been playing well lately, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin doing great up front.
Martinez added, It's about us. I don't like to think about other teams.
I'm thinking about what we can do to get better as a team every day, and we have to learn from this game.
