‘It’s my responsibility’ says Ruben Amorim as woes continue for leaky United

Ruben Amorim vowed to address Manchester United issues’ dealing with set pieces and setbacks after nerves got the better of his side in Sunday’s 3-0 home humbling by high-flying Bournemouth. A week after the memorable comeback derby win at rivals Manchester City, boos greeted the final whistle following a loss that leaves the Red Devils marooned in 13th place in the Premier League.
United will spend Christmas in the bottom half for the first time since 1989 after the Cherries followed up last season’s historic first Old Trafford win with a victory by the same scoreline. Once again set pieces unsteadied Amorim’s men, with Dean Huijsen guiding home a first half free-kick before Bournemouth completed a win through a Justin Kluivert penalty and Antoine Semenyo’s strike in quick succession after the break.
“Without conceding nothing (sic) to the opponent and then one set piece makes us more nervous, all the stadium,” Amorim said after United’s costly set piece struggles continued. “I felt it since the first minute, there’s a lot of anxiety. That’s normal because of the context and it’s really disappointing.
“Then create a lot of chances to score and then again against like Tottenham, they score two goals and it’s really hard. After that third goal everyone is suffering in the stadium – the fans, the players, everybody. “It’s a tough moment but we have to face it and prepare for the next game.”.
