Amorim Says Man U Is Not Ready for Champions League or Any European Competition
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has admitted that his side is not yet ready to compete in European tournaments this season, whether the Champions League, Europa League, or the Conference League.
The Portuguese coach, who took charge after leaving Sporting CP, explained that United still needs time to grow into a team capable of handling both the intensity of European football and the demands of the Premier League.
United endured a poor campaign last season, finishing 15th in the league. Their last shot at Europe slipped away when they lost 2-0 to Tottenham Hotspur in the Europa League final.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Amorim was clear about where his team stands. “I don’t think we were prepared for Europe, that’s just the truth,” he said. “To face strong Champions League fixtures and then come back to play in the Premier League, you need a very solid base. We are still building that and it will take time.”
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
