United Manchester players endorse Amorim's decision on De Ligt

Manchester United's defender, Matthijs de Ligt, has backed Ruben Amorim amidst speculation about the coach's future following a disappointing start to the Premier League season. The team, which hired Amorim after a humiliating League Cup second round loss to fourth-tier Grimsby during the international break, secured their first league victory of the season against Burnley, thanks to a last-minute penalty from Bruno Fernandes.

De Ligt, who sustained a black eye during Wednesday's game against Grimsby, believes that the win against Burnley was the only cure to help alleviate the disappointment of the Grimsby loss. He stated that the most important thing was the win, and that the team could have performed better.

The team's performance against Burnley was careless and uncohesive, with poor defending and goalkeeping. However, de Ligt expressed a desire for Amorim to stay as manager and said that the win against Burnley strengthened their feeling of support for him.

De Ligt also admitted that the team's performance against Grimsby was unacceptable and that the players are responsible for the results. He stated that there has not been much discussion among the team about the Grimsby loss due to its painful nature.

Amorim had admitted to considering quitting United and often hating his players after the Grimsby loss. However, de Ligt said that it would be bad to blame Amorim for the team's performance and that it is mostly the players' fault.

United will face a major test of Amorim's job security when Premier League action resumes for United at Manchester City on September 14. Six days after their game against Manchester City, United will host in-form Chelsea. De Ligt stated that the team still stands behind Amorim and that the win against Burnley helped to strengthen their support for him.

Bruno Fernandes' heroics in the game against Burnley kept the critics at bay, as he scored the winning penalty to secure the victory. De Ligt stated that the players are responsible for the results and that they need to improve their performance to ensure that they can secure more wins in the future.

Despite the team's struggles, de Ligt remains optimistic about the future and believes that they can turn their season around. He stated that the most important thing is to focus on the next game and to work hard to ensure that they can secure more wins in the future.

In conclusion, Manchester United's defender, Matthijs de Ligt, has expressed his support for coach Ruben Amorim amidst speculation about his future. The team will face a major test of Amorim's job security when they take on Manchester City on September 14, and they will need to improve their performance to ensure that they can secure more wins in the future.
