Amorim’s Honest Assessment After Ipswich Stalemate
Ruben Amorim didn’t hold back following Manchester United’s frustrating 1-1 draw with Ipswich on Sunday. The Portuguese coach singled out substitute Joshua Zirkzee for not fully executing his role in the final minutes of the match, as the Red Devils searched for a late winner.
“We were attacking the box with two strikers at the end of the game,” Amorim explained, per Metro. “Josh [Zirkzee] has to understand that he needs to get into the box so we can make crosses.”
Room for Improvement
Amorim admitted the team still has work to do in critical areas:
“We’re doing things that aren’t right at the moment. It’s something we need to address,” he added.
The critique highlights Amorim’s no-nonsense approach as he continues to reshape United’s tactics and mentality in his first season at Old Trafford.
Man United’s Struggles Continue
