Ruben Amorim admits Manchester United have to 'fight' fan feeling at Old Trafford
@Source: manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Ruben Amorim admitted Manchester United supporters will still succumb to nerves during their home games this season. United won only seven of their Premier League matches at Old Trafford last term as they were beaten nine times, the most home league losses they have suffered since 1962-63. Amorim has changed United's pre-match routine for home games and they will no longer arrive at Old Trafford four hours before kick-off, a measure introduced by Erik ten Hag in 2022. The players will instead maximise the facilities at United's new £50million hub at Carrington that opened last week. United drew with Fiorentina in their only pre-season friendly but went 1-0 down in the first half. Despite a markedly different makeup of matchgoers for a friendly, Amorim felt they felt "nervous" after Fiorentina scored direct from a corner in the eighth minute. "That is really important," Amorim said of the need to improve the home form. "We don't have to think about it. It's just one game against Arsenal. Against one team that everyone in this room thinks Arsenal is going to win. "It's not a mental thing. It's not just for the players. It's also for the fans. Even the game against Fiorentina. You can feel it. The fans are a little bit nervous. "This feeling you cannot... it's not just one day, one game [and it's gone]. So it's a feeling that we have to fight everyone together. The players, the coaches and the fans. And we are going to change things. "If you want to win things and to be a very strong team, especially at home, you need to win your games." --- Here at the Manchester Evening News, we’re dedicated to bringing you the best Manchester United coverage and analysis.
