Ruben Amorim admits “everything is so difficult” at Man Utd at the moment after they were beaten 3-0 by Bournemouth in the Premier League on Sunday.
The Cherries scored through Spain Under-21 international Dean Huijsen in the first half before two goals in two minutes from Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo secured the points for Andoni Iraola’s team.
Man Utd have now lost seven of their seventeen Premier League matches this season, with the Red Devils currently sitting thirteenth the ranking of the competition.
Amorim, like many managers before him, to help Man Utd be consistent in their performances and results, with the Portuguese head coach winning four, losing four and taking the lead in all competitions one of his first nine games.
And Amorim has revealed that “everything is so difficult” at Man Utd at the moment, with everyone “so scared” that things will go wrong.
Amorim told reporters after the match against Bournemouth: “At the moment everything is so difficult. At a club like Manchester United it is very difficult for everyone to lose 3-0 at home.
“Of course the fans are very disappointed and tired. You already feel it in the stadium during the first match. On the first goal kick with Andre Onana, he’s thinking about what to do and he’s pushing the other guys and everyone is so anxious.
“I understand that, but we have to face it.”
Man Utd have now conceded 17 goals from set-pieces in the Premier League in 2024, but Amorim refuses to blame set-piece coach Carlos Fernandes.
Amorim added: “The responsibility is mine, not Carlos.
“We are a team in good and bad moments. We have a way of doing things. We are working on that and we will improve it. But we didn’t lose because of set pieces. We lost because we created more chances and didn’t score.”

Lisandro Martinez, who has not covered himself in glory in recent weeks, insists Man Utd’s players are “angry” at conceding so many set goals.
Martinez said: “We are so angry about situations like this. We mainly have to work on set pieces.
“I believe a lot in this team and this staff. If they don’t score their first goal from a set-piece, it will be a completely different game.”
Amorim insists “nothing bad lasts forever” as he calls on his Man Utd side to continue nurturing their ideas in the future.
The Man Utd boss continued: ‘It’s so much easier to pass on an idea when you’re winning, scoring and not conceding. But it’s also a great privilege to be here, so we have to move on now.
“Nothing bad lasts forever and nothing good lasts forever, so we have to keep going and be very strong in our ideas, especially in the bad moments. We will do it and try to win the next game.”
