Ruben Amorim urges Man United players to be ruthless in front of goal

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has urged his players to be ruthless in front of the goal in order to progress in the Europa League. The Portuguese manager made the comments after his team played a 1-1 draw against Real Sociedad at Anoeta on Thursday.

After a goalless first half, Joshua Zirkzee was able to put the Red Devils in front in the 57th minute. However, the home team equalized as Mike Oyarzabal scored from a spot-kick in the 70th minute.

The visitors took five shots on target but Ruben wants his players to be clinical in front of the goal.

“We are creating chances but sometimes you don’t see it in the xG [expected goals] because we manage not to shoot but the great opportunity is there and you can see it,” said the United head coach.

“We have transitions, we have situations and sometimes we are missing something. That can change something, especially in these kinds of games where we need goals that can make a difference.”

Frustration among the United players was palpable after Diogo Dalot decided to pass backwards when he had the chance to make a cross for Rasmus Hojlund. The two players were then seen exchanging heated words but Amorim urged his players to move on to the next game.

“One thing for sure is they are really anxious to score goals and to win games,” said Amorim.

“They are all doing their best but are not deciding the best way in their position.

“It was a clear position. Rasmus did really well, Dalot did really well. The decision was not the best. The important thing is to move on and not fighting. Let’s move on to the next game.”

Manchester United will next take on Arsenal on Sunday at Old Trafford in the Premier League.
