Amorim, who took charge last month with the team in 14th place, has led United to two wins, three losses, and one draw in six league matches.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">United enters Christmas in 13th place\u2014their lowest position on December 25 since 1986, when they were 15th under Alex Ferguson during his second month in charge.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Amorim told reporters: \u201cThis is probably one of the worst moments in our club\u2019s history. We need to face it and deal with it head-on.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">When asked why the club hasn\u2019t made significant progress, the Portuguese coach replied, \u201cIf I knew (the reason), I would fix all the club\u2019s problems, even this one (rainwater leaking from the roof). I know what I need to do\u2014it\u2019s very clear to me. I won\u2019t say I feel comfortable because I\u2019m genuinely frustrated. It\u2019s a very tough moment, but we\u2019ll solve the problems step by step and find answers for everything.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The former Sporting Lisbon coach added, \u201cI just want to win. I don\u2019t care about Christmas. My sole focus is on winning the next match. That\u2019s all that matters. We\u2019re fortunate (in England) to play on Boxing Day to bring joy to fans, and we\u2019re determined to win that match.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Amorim, 39, confirmed that defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Victor Lindelof would be unavailable, and he plans to use a different lineup to prevent further injuries.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cAt the moment, it\u2019s not about rotating players or preparing for the future,\u201d Amorim explained. \u201cIt\u2019s simply about avoiding injuries. We\u2019re trying to handle everything. I understand there\u2019s a long-term project, and we\u2019re focused on it. But injuries would create major problems.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Amorim\u2019s squad has been without Marcus Rashford (27) for the last three matches in all competitions. The coach questioned the decisions made by the forward\u2019s entourage after Rashford stated he was ready for \u201cnew challenges.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cSome players here carry significant responsibility because they\u2019ve been here for a long time,\u201d Amorim said of the academy graduate. \u201cIf you have great talent, we need great performances, responsibility, and hard work to lift everyone during this difficult time.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim admitted on Tuesday that while dealing with the club\u2019s struggles in the Premier League has been frustrating, he is confident in his ability to resolve them.
