'They need to change their understanding' — Amorim tells Man United players after Bournemouth defeat

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has charged his players to become more savvy in in-game situations, following their latest defeat. 

The Red Devils were sent down to 13th on the log earlier today when they were soundly beaten 3-0 by Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth. 

The first goal came from a set piece, a recurring theme in Manchester United's season, and the next was from the spot after Noussair Mazraoui clumsily clipped his man. 

A frustrated Amorim believes his team performed admirably but for those instances that swung momentum away from them. Hence he mentioned that his team had to understand game states better. 

“It's really hard, especially if you saw the game. We concede one foul and then a goal. We were winning second balls and creating chances,” Amorim said, per the BBC. “We conceded a penalty and then the third goal. It was really hard for the fans. We have to go again next game.

"We have a lot of situations where they managed to score a little bit similar to Tottenham. It's really hard on everyone in the stadium. We have to fight this moment.

"We have to maintain the calm when you suffer a goal. It was similar in the last match. The players need to understand the game has different moments.

"I always expected [job to be tough], especially in these busy months. We are ready to face the challenge."
