Man United fans will absolutely love what Ruben Amorim said after last-gasp Tottenham draw
Matthijs de Ligt came to the rescue as Man United secured a very late draw against Tottenham in a thrilling Premier League clash.
Tottenham fans were furious with Brennan Johnson again, just a few days on from getting sent off against Copenhagen in the Champions League, despite opening the scoring midweek.
After winning Player of the Month for October, Bryan Mbeumo was on target for Man United, but some smart substitutions from Thomas Frank saw Spurs turn the tables on Saturday, 8 November.
Mathys Tel fired past Senne Lammens in the 84th minute before Richarlison redirected a goal-bound shot from Wilson Odobert seven minutes later, but the Lilywhites could not hold out for all three points.
United supporters were in absolute dreamland as De Ligt headed home the equaliser with almost the last kick of the game, leaving Frank massively disappointed with the result.
Ruben Amorim clearly wants more after Tottenham draw
The Red Devils are now unbeaten in five Premier League matches, including wins over Sunderland, Liverpool, and Brighton, in a miraculous turnaround at Old Trafford.
However, there are still areas of improvement, as there are with any team in the division, though many would have expected the away manager to be ecstatic with a late equaliser against tough opposition.
That was not the case, though. It was an extremely poor performance from both sets of players, so had United been firing on all cylinders, three points might have been a guarantee.
Amorim has refused to mince his words in his post-match press conference, and supporters will be excited about what is to come from the team after his admission.
Man United to push for more after taking a point against Spurs
Speaking after the game, Amorim said, “We have a lot of problems. I know people see results and think we are improving,” and while some might be worried by that, it should be a sign of what is to come.
De Ligt also felt that United deserved more from the game, and after such a difficult few months in all competitions, there is finally something to celebrate at the Theatre of Dreams.
Just a few weeks ago, Amorim’s job was on the line at Man United. Now, supporters are right behind the manager, as the Red Devils rise to seventh in the Premier League table.
Things finally appear to be clicking. Sir Jim Ratcliffe was facing a tough decision over Amorim’s future before, and it seems that sticking it out was the right decision for United.
