Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim has admitted his team is “suffering” from set pieces after they lost 3-0 to Bournemouth on Sunday.
The Red Devils had come from behind to win 2-1 at Manchester City last weekend; however, they failed to record a consecutive victory as they fell to goals from Dean Huijsen, Justin Kluivert, and Antoine Semenyo.
Speaking after the game, Amorim said, “It’s hard to push for two, three wins, and we are trying. This game was hard on us. We suffered again on set pieces, and we were a bit nervous; I felt it in the stadium. The penalty and another goal are really hard here. We tried to score some goals, but it was a tough match, so let’s move on.
“If you look at the game, we were not conceding anything before the first goal; we had opportunities. If we manage to score the first goal, then the game should be different. We want to score, but we are too nervous. We have to fight this.
”After the penalty, we need to control the game better because we know this situation is really hard. We have to control this moment better.
“We have to focus on the job and not what you feel in the stadium. It’s the only way I know how to focus my players. We have to suffer again, but we will try to win. We will do it until the end.”
