EPL: Why Man Utd lost 3-0 to Man City – Amorim
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has claimed his side conceded goals they should have avoided against Manchester City.
Amorim watched on as United were hammered 3-0 by their city rivals at the Etihad on Sunday.
Phil Foden headed in the opener for the hosts, before Erling Haaland added a brace in the second half.
Amorim, speaking to BBC Match of the Day, said:
“If you look at the goals, we can avoid those goals. That was the biggest difference. We can do better, especially the second goal. We suffered goals we can avoid.
“The biggest difference was when we had transitions, we didn’t score. In the second half they did better in transition and we suffered in that moment.
“We can do better, that is clear but again transitions – the third goal, lack of quality in the connection, people don’t know who is going to the ball and then the guy is free to score. The first one, he is in the middle of four guys and we can be aggressive in that moment.
“In these kinds of games, we need to be perfect and in this game we were not perfect. The frustration is always the same because with the amount of chances we need to score goals.
“We need to work on a lot of things for the next game.”
