Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim admits he understands scepticism from fans about the team’s ability to win back-to-back Premier League matches, confessing even he does not know what performance he is going to get from his side every week.
Last weekend’s 2–1 win over Chelsea marked the first time in the Amorim era—the boss joined in November 2024—that United have won consecutive home games in the league, but the harrowing derby defeat away at Manchester City that preceded that match means the Red Devils are still looking to celebrate their first set of back-to-back league wins under the boss.
Standing in United’s way this week is a trip to Brentford, who head into the game down in 17th in the standings. Amorim’s side are clear favourites to end their slump but that confidence is not shared by a large number of fans, and the boss completely understands why.
“It’s normal for the fans, they don’t know what is going to happen in the next game,” Amorim conceded. “To be completely honest, I have an idea, but I don’t know how it’s going to be and I’m the manager of the team.
“That has to do with the moment that we live for so many months. The best way of dealing with that is that every game is the last one. It’s just not thinking about two games.
