Ruben Amorim says Benjamin Sesko, Harry Maguire and two other United stars are injury doubts for the next game, but Matheus Cunha is back.
The Manchester United head coach was speaking to the press in the pre-match press conference ahead of Thursday’s Premier League tie against West Ham United.
The first question was about social media.
“They are talking about Manchester,” Amorim said. “Not because I don’t agree. Most of the times I agree with a lot of things that you say, guys. But it’s a way of me being healthy because it’s enough when we lose, when we draw, when I know that we play bad, my feeling as a coach is enough. I don’t need another feelings around the club.”
“For me, the only way, there is no other way. The only way is to protect myself. Of course, I lose money in sponsors. In Instagram, I could win a lot of money. But for me, the quality of life, the protection of my family, the way I can live a normal life, because I guarantee you, I live a normal life, It’s not worth it.”
“Some more dollars or pounds is not worth it. So I protect myself. No one can be tougher than me when we lose and when we don’t play well. That is the only way, but nowadays, it’s really normal to have that abuse. For me, it’s the only way to survive in this world.”
The second question related to injury issues.
“We have two doubts for the game,” Amorim admitted. “I will not tell you today because we’ll change the way we are going to approach. Let’s see if they can play tomorrow. But the rest of the squad is good. Mateus [Cunha] is back, but I have two players that maybe they cannot play. Harry Maguire is still out. And Sesko.”
The next question was how Amorim views Cunha’s start to his United career.
“I think he has more levels to go;” he answered. “He’s in the different club. Different pressure, but I think he coped with that really well. He was struggling because he was not scoring and because of social media abuse. He was thinking too much about the numbers, but the influence that he has in the team is so important for us. But I think Cunha has so much to grow defensively and offensively.”
