The Red Devils boss is hoping to continue to the club’s fine run against Brighton
Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim says fine margins are creating the storyline around the club this season.
The Red Devils had been slated by the media at points in the 2025-26 campaign after struggling to adapt under their manager.
But back-to-back wins against Sunderland and away to Liverpool have flipped the switch.
Now, United have the chance to make it three wins in a row, something Amorim has not achieved since arriving at Old Trafford.
Speaking to the media ahead of the game, the Portuguese boss opened up on the criticism his side have been facing.
He said: “I don’t want to change so much with the difference of 20 centimetres.
“If [Cody] Gakpo’s shot was 20cm different then the narrative would be different.
“If you are a manager, you don’t win a lot of games. People are going to doubt you. They have reasons for that.
“My point of view is that we need to be clear on our path and not change so much because we win one game.
“We have one identity, one way of playing but we adapt what kind of game we need to play in the moment. You can sense that the first half against Sunderland was not the same as the second half. We know how to manage that.
“Then against Liverpool, of course, we scored right away in the first play. Then we managed the game playing in a different style because it was needed in that moment. That is a good thing.
“Then the spirit. Sometimes when you have a good spirit you have that bit of luck that we need to win games.”
Amorim is hoping to use the current momentum to build something special, after enduring such pain during his time in charge so far.
He added: “We use the good spirit of winning games. We know that was a good weekend for us but our focus is on the next game.
“That is in the past and we need to understand that football can change a lot, especially in this kind of club. So we are not thinking about the last game. We are thinking that this game is going to be really hard to win.”
