Amorim Says Man United’s Late FA Cup Win Wasn’t “Fergie Time”
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has downplayed suggestions that their dramatic FA Cup win over Leicester City was another case of “Fergie time.”
United struggled in the first half, failing to register a shot on target for the third time this season. Leicester took the lead before halftime when Bobby De Cordova-Reid scored on the rebound after Wilfred Ndidi’s shot was saved.
Joshua Zirkzee equalized in the second half, and just when extra time seemed inevitable, Harry Maguire headed in a 93rd-minute winner from Bruno Fernandes’ free kick.
Speaking to ITV after the match, Amorim admitted the team must improve but dismissed any comparisons to Sir Alex Ferguson’s era.
“We had to believe until the end, but this had nothing to do with Fergie time. Our performance needs to be much better, with and without the ball,” he said.
He also took responsibility for the team’s struggles, adding, “We lacked energy in the first half but played with more urgency after the break. It was a good result, but not a good performance.
When a team doesn’t perform or improve, the coach is responsible. Now, we focus on learning and getting better for the next game.”
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
