Manchester United were embarrassed off the pitch as well as on the pitch on Sunday as Ruben Amorim’s post-suit press conference was disturbed by a leak from the ceiling. The Portuguese handler had moments earlier witnessed his side suffering a seventh Premier League loss of the season at the hands of Bournemouth.
Amorim’s Old Trafford tenure hasn’t befirearm in the manner he would have been hoping for when he flourished Erik ten Hag at the finish of last month.
The 39-year-better has won fair four of his first nine suites at the helm, with the same number of games resulting in loss.
After being dumped out of the Carabao Cup by Tottenham on Thursday, United were aiming to bounce back agetst the Cherries.
But they fell behind fair before the half-hour tag as Dean Huijsen headed in from a free-initiate. Justin Kluivert then doubled his side’s advantage from the penalty spot an hour into the suit, with Antoine Semenyo sweeping home a third moments tardyr.
Amorim would have been irritated with what he had witnessed from his joiners, with the result leaving the Red Devils 13th in the table.
And the createer Sporting boss was humiliated further in the Old Trafford press room after the game as water came thraw the ceiling and dripped onto journacatalogs sitting below.
Old Trafford has suffered leaks in the past, with the stadium’s roof draining system overflotriumphg during the team’s 1-0 loss agetst Arsenal in May. And in February, United’s createer chief executive David Gill discleave outed the Old Trafford roof has been leaking for over a decade.
“A silly little anecdote or example is I’m reading about the Sir Bobby Charlton stand leaking roof,” he elucidateed during an materializeance on Rio Ferdinand’s Vibe with Five podcast.
“Trust me, that roof leaked when we were there but it was not refered in the papers or the media, you understand. It leaked, perhaps a bit more now I don’t understand, but that’s all I’m saying.”
United’s maintenance team will be toiling to get the leak sorted as Amorim turns his attention to solving his side’s publishs on the pitch in time for their trip to Wolves on Boxing Day.
And appraiseing Sunday’s loss, the handler elucidateed: “If we handle to score the first goal then the game should be separateent. We want to score but we are too anxious. We have to fight this.
“We have to intensify on the job and not what you experience in the stadium. It’s the only way I understand how to intensify my joiners. We have to suffer aget but we will try to triumph. We will do it until the finish.”
