Man Utd ‘Too Anxious, Too Afraid’ Says Amorim

Share

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim says his players are "too anxious, too afraid" and that his team's poor form has taken its toll on him.

United head to leaders Liverpool on Sunday (16:30 GMT) on the back of four successive defeats in all competitions - including three in the Premier League.

They have won just two top-flight matches since Amorim took charge in November and are only seven points above the relegation zone.

United lost 3-0 at home to Bournemouth, 2-0 at Wolves before slumping to a 2-0 home defeat against Newcastle in the space of eight days over the festive period.

They have not lost four league games in a row in the same season since between December and February 1979, while they last suffered four defeats in a row without scoring back in April 1909.
