Manchester United’s boss Ruben Amorim has expressed his frustration at the lack of consistency by the Red Devils saying ‘it’s hard to not get really mad’ after drawing 2-2 with Liverpool at Anfield.
This is even as captain Bruno Fernandes questioned why the team are not able to produce performances like that every week.
In recent weeks, Man Utd have lost to Newcastle, Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest while defeating Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium and securing a draw against the high-flying league leader, Liverpool at Anfield.
Lisandro Martinez blasted United in front early in the second half before Cody Gakpo’s leveller was followed by a Mohamed Salah penalty that looked to have earned league leaders Liverpool victory.
But Amad Diallo swept home to earn unfancied United a point. However, when asked if it was a step in the right direction, Amorim could not hide his disappointment at not winning at Anfield.
“Yes, because the expectations were so much different than what we saw during the game,” Amorim told Sky Sports.
“I think I get more mad because of the other games so it’s even harder to understand some things.”
Put to him that Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes had expressed similar frustrations about the team not being able to consistently produce performances like the one displayed at Anfield, Amorim said: “This is not about the system, it’s not about the technique. It’s about something else and this is hard to understand, even for the coach.
“I think it was a point deserved but it is just one point and I think we should get mad and disappointed, more than the other day [in the defeats against] Newcastle, Bournemouth, Nottingham [Forest] – more than those days, today we need to be really disappointed.
