MU lost the second consecutive match due to mistakes, how did coach Amorim defend?

Returning to Old Trafford, MU aimed to win 3 points against Nottingham Forest to improve their position on the rankings. However, just 2 minutes into the match, MU's net shook after Nikola Milenković's brave aerial battle. More notably, this was MU's 3rd consecutive goal conceded from corner kicks. In round 14, when losing 0-2 to Arsenal, the "Red Devils" also conceded from 2 similar situations.

In the beginning of the second half, Onana made a mistake, allowing Morgan Gibbs-White to score Nottingham Forest's second goal. However, the disastrous day of the MU defense did not stop there. In the 54th minute, young defender Leny Yoro, who was in the starting lineup, chose the wrong place for the ball to fall, allowing Chris Wood to score the third time in the MU net. Meanwhile, the MU attack, despite trying hard, only managed to score 2 goals thanks to Rasmus Højlund (18th minute), Bruno Fernandes (61st minute) and accepted a 2-3 loss.

In just 2 matches, MU received 3 goals from corner kicks.

Losing 2-3 to Nottingham Forest, MU suffered 2 consecutive defeats under coach Ruben Amorim. The Red half of Manchester only has 19 points after 15 matches, falling to 13th place. The gap between MU and the top 4 has now widened to 8 points.

After the match, Daily Mail journalist Harry Bamforth commented: “I don’t understand what the MU defense is doing. Andre Onana is everywhere and Lisandro Martinez just sits and watches the ball go into the net. As my colleague Nathan Salt said earlier, Ruben Amorim’s “honeymoon” at MU is really over. Defeat is something no one wants, but it is a reality check for MU at the moment. The old problems are still as clear as day but fortunately the “Red Devils” still have a long way to go.”

Meanwhile, coach Ruben Amorim told BBC: “It was a difficult match. We started very badly, conceding a goal from the very first play. After that, although we controlled the game and had many scoring opportunities, everything was out of control.”

Coach Ruben Amorim and MU suffered their second consecutive defeat.

At the end of the sharing, the Portuguese coach said that MU is still on the right track and he believes that the "Red Devils" will be successful in the future.

“We have improved our movement when approaching the opponent’s penalty area. In addition to the two goals, MU also had many quality attacks. This is a defeat at a very difficult time. However, MU will continue because this is a long journey. MU is improving very well in some aspects. We have to win matches to make the atmosphere better,” added coach Ruben Amorim.
