Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim addressed his decision to play in a deep block at home against Arsenal, as well as the fan protest before the match. The Red Devils held title-contending Arsenal to a draw at Old Trafford, employing the unpopular tactic of stacking their box to soak pressure and relying on counterattacks to advance. It proved effective, as they earned a point in a match in which many believed they deserved maximum points. PAY ATTENTION: Stay updated with the Latest Soccer News in Nigeria from Pulse Sports What Amorim said Despite the effectiveness of his tactic, the Red Devils boss understands that fans of the club demand a more expansive style against a rival like Arsenal instead of the pragmatic approach that yielded results. "I think we did well. Of course we don't want to play like this, defending so much and giving the ball to the opponent. With all the games and characteristics of the players. [Victor] Lindelof, for example, without a lot of games. Casemiro is more comfortable in this sort of game. "It's the opponent. The last game before the Champions League was high pressure by PSV, man to man. they are harder to make in this way. We have some good players in the transition. [Alejandro] Garnacho made a really good game. "When you coach Manchester United, you cannot play too much like that. You have to try to win the game. I know it is frustrating for the fans sometimes. We have to deal with that and sometimes do things that are not popular." Staying on the topic of fans and their desire, Amorim addressed the protest before the match against the ownership of the club. He said, “This club will never die; that is clear. You feel it in the streets. This is a big business, and maybe all the fans in this league sometimes feel it is harder to go to the games and pay for tickets. We want to give them a lot of effort. In the future, we will not play like that."
