Manchester United are facing a battle against relegation from the Premier League, according to manager Ruben Amorim. Following a humiliating 2-0 defeat to Newcastle at Old Trafford, Amorim acknowledged the gravity of the situation, stating that it's 'one of the most difficult moments in the history of Man Utd'.
Ruben Amorim has admitted that Manchester United are in a fight to avoid relegation from the Premier League after their humbling defeat to Newcastle. The dismal 2-0 loss at Old Trafford, described as 'embarrassing' and 'grim' by former club captain Gary Neville, means United are just seven points above the drop zone at the halfway stage of the season. Asked directly on Sky Sports if Manchester United were now in a relegation fight , Amorim conceded: 'That is really clear.
It's one of the most difficult moments in the history of Man Utd and we have to address it with honesty.' Amorim added later in his press conference: 'When you have these kind of moments, especially in the big clubs, it's really hard to turn things around, especially when you don't have a lot of time to train the basics, to cope with the difficult moments. So we have to acknowledge our position, the way you see the league, everybody can beat everybody. So we have to engage and focus on surviving.' United's next match is on Sunday at league leaders Liverpool, live on Sky Sports. United slumped to a new low against impressive Newcastle. In-form Newcastle simply overpowered Amorim's side in the opening 30 minutes, with United's fourth consecutive defeat effectively confirmed long before half-time. 'They were the better team and they started very strong,' Amorim said. 'It was very hard for us to turn it around after we conceded the first goal because of the results before and we didn't have the positioning to cope with the difficult moments. The players suffered a lot on the pitch and it was really hard on us. Newcastle are a better team'
