Amorim: 'Must fight to the death to protect Manchester United's shirt'

The 2-0 victory over Sunderland helped Ruben Amorim temporarily escape the pressure, but the Portuguese coach did not forget to send a strong message to his students: "Fight to the death to prove that you are truly on my side."

3 points won against Sunderland helped Ruben Amorim temporarily escape the crisis.

Two goals from Mason Mount and Benjamin Sesko secured all three points for United, their third successive win at Old Trafford. However, Amorim maintained a cautious tone. “I know the players don’t want to change managers again, but support means being ready to give your all in every transition. We have to show that not only at home, but also away,” he said.

Despite the improvement, Manchester United have yet to win two consecutive Premier League games under Amorim. After the break, they travel to Anfield - a test of their loyalty. "The biggest disappointment is not seeing the same Man United away from home," the 40-year-old admitted.

The match against Sunderland also marked an impressive debut for new goalkeeper Senne Lammens. He kept a clean sheet on his first match, but Amorim warned: “This is just the beginning. At this club, everything is always harsh.”

Mason Mount said: “We are 100% behind the manager. Today’s win has to be the start of a new run.” Meanwhile, Sesko – who scored his second successive goal – described the feeling at Old Trafford as “a dream come true”.

Three points against Sunderland cannot save the whole season, but at least, it helps Amorim and his students breathe the air of belief - something that Manchester United has lost for too long.
