Ruben Amorim must deal with the weak mentality of his Man Utd squad after they suffered a bizarre collapse to fall to defeat to Nottingham Forest.
They said old habits die hard, and for Manchester United, that is proving to be the case. On a miserable Old Trafford night, the worst instincts of the Erik ten Hag era were back in all their gory glory.
That they didn't capitalise on that spell allowed United the chance of another Old Trafford comeback, but after Bruno Fernandes got them back in the game, they couldn't round it off. A point, or all three, would have glossed over many of Amorim's current problems. That is the kind of setback that all too easily rocks this team, and it did so again. In his pre-match press conference, Amorim called for 'mad dogs' and more running, but he also needs a group with a stronger mentality. Gibbs-White's goal was the signal for a dramatic collapse in confidence.
The frustration for Amorim will be that his team had shown glimpses of quality, none more so than in the first goal they scored, which was right out of the Amorim playbook.
