Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has admitted his team lacked the needed edge in the final third during their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea on Friday night. Marc Cucurella’s first-half header, set up by Reece James, was the difference at Stamford Bridge, handing United their 18th loss of the season and leaving them sitting 16th in the league.

Speaking after the match, Amorim said his side started well but just didn’t show enough aggression where it mattered most. “We approached the game the right way,” he said. “We had some bad luck and lost focus at key moments. We tried to press and push forward but just couldn’t finish.” Despite the loss, Amorim insisted the team was competitive. Up next, they’ll face Tottenham in the Europa League final on Wednesday.
